A Thousand Tomorrows by Karen Kingsbury

A Thousand Tomorrows may just have validated why I pick up a Karen Kingsbury novel.  This is the best of hers that I've read.  This is the story of Cody Gunner a bull rider in the rodeo circuit and Ali Daniels a barrel racer.  Each carries their own secret hurts and demons.  It's a really fantastic story.  One I've never read the likes of before.  The background topic was interesting (I've never read a story set on the rodeo circuit before) and I understand that Kingsbury spent quite a bit of time visiting with and talking to rodeo circuit riders as part of her research.  It was well worth it.  I look forward to reading the sequel to this one, Just Beyond the Clouds.
