""A charming memoir about growing up as sturdy cowboys and cowgirls in a time now past.""-USA Today

In this illuminating

and unusual book, Sandra Day O'Connor tells, with her brother, Alan, the story of

the Day family, and of growing up on the harsh yet beautiful land of the Lazy B ranch

in Arizona.

Laced throughout these stories about three generations of the Day family,

and everyday life on the Lazy B, are the lessons Sandra and Alan learned about the

world, self-reliance, and survival, and how the land, people, and values of the Lazy

B shaped them.

This fascinating glimpse of life in the Southwest in the last century

recounts an important time in American history, and provides an enduring portrait

of an independent young woman on the brink of becoming one of the most prominent

figures in America.

Sandra Day O'Connor was born in El Paso, Texas, and attended college and law school at Stanford University. She has been married to John O'Connor since 1952, and they have three sons. Nominated by President Reagan as associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, she took the oath of office on September 25, 1981, the first woman to do so. H. Alan Day is a lifelong rancher who, after graduation from the University of Arizona, managed the Day ranch, the Lazy B, for thirty years. He also purchased and ran ranches in Nebraska and South Dakota, where he established a wild-horse sanctuary that, under contract with the U.S. government, cared for fifteen hundred wild horses. He lives in Tucson.
