Bethany Maile, "Anything Will Be Easy after This: A Western Identity Crisis "
English | ISBN: 1496220218 | 2020 | 234 pages | EPUB | 904 KB
Bethany Maile had a mythological American West in mind when she returned to Idaho after dropping out of college in Boston, only to find a farm-town-turned-suburb instead of the Wild West wonderland she remembered. Haunted by what she had so completely misremembered, Maile resolved to investigate her attachment to the western myth, however flawed.
