Bravo!"--Writer in the Pines"I finished this tale with tears in my eyes. The Big Drift is not just another typical tale of the blood-soaked West. This novel is a satisfying and surprisingly smooth blend of traditional Old West, insightful modern psychology, thrilling action, a tortuous search for redemption, and the power of confession, forgiveness and what you had thought was the impossibility of salvation. Patrick Dearen . . . is at the top of his powers in The Big Drift."--Michelle Newby, Lone Star Literary Life"Puts the reader right in the middle of the action."--Bryan (TX) Eagle
From the Author Watch the VIDEO TRAILER at youtu.be/L-oW25xHTU4
From the Back Cover "A powerful depiction of the life of drovers, their beliefs and values, and what riding for the brand meant to them. Dearen explores the innermost fears and passions of West Texas men and women whose lot in life was brutal and bleak, people who struggled to find the courage to go on, day by day. 'The Big Drift' is the very essence of what great fiction should be." -- Richard S. Wheeler, six-time Spur Award winner"Patrick Dearen sets his story during the big drift, when days were counted in inches and feet of snow and entire herds were lost, driven to a halt against drift fences and frozen on their feet. . . . "The Big Drift" shows us how Texas climate is a plot in itself, an enemy, a stage lit with various fulminations and excesses, like war itself, against which human life remains vulnerable and highlighted with gore and glory." -- Mary Hood, award-winning author

Howell Not since Elmer Kelton have I enjoyed a western author as much as I enjoyed Patrick Dearen's storytelling in his recent novel, The Big Drift. For a native West Texan, reading it was like enjoying a double scoop of ice cream with a cherry on top. Not only are Dearen's characters gritty and believable, they are also forged, it seems, from real cowboys. I highly recommend this book. It's a delight for historical fiction and western fans alike.

Because my family lives near the affected areas mentioned in the book, it was of great interest. I believe that Patrick Dearen's work is well researched and written and would be much appreciated by people with ties to the area or to those who want to learn the history of ranching and how it developed and changed. The interesting characters in the novel came alive on the page. I think our parents and grandparents would have found Dearen's work quite an accurate depiction of the times of which he wrote.

Kirkpatrick Based on true events, The Big Drift takes us to Texas in the 1880s and the experiences of cowboys dealing not only with a weather phenomenon but with coming to terms with their own earlier choices. Full of western authenticity and the larger themes of forgiveness and living with regret, this novel won the Spur Award from Western Writers of America in the Traditional Western category. It is a well-deserved award. This is the first book of Mr. Dearen that I've read. He's written many and I'll look for more!
