His Broken Heart followed Her Down Unexpected Trails

In a last-ditch effort to regain the affection of the woman of his dreams, Timothy Parsel swung his leg over the saddle, grabbed the reins, and followed her down the trail, oblivious to where the path of marital devotion would take him: ultimately his skinny ass would suffer the most and next, his ribs, which became the target of many horses' hooves.

Find out by reading Parsel's memoir, Broken Rib Ranch.
