Set on a farmstead in Wyoming, There's Devils & There's Mules is a heart-warming tale of family and of their unyielding spirit and perseverance to wrestle poverty and nature's capriciousness.

Set on a farmstead in Wyoming, There's Devils & There's Mules is a heart-warming tale of family and of their unyielding spirit and perseverance to wrestle poverty and nature's capriciousness. Our main protagonist and narrator struggles with trials and tribulations of his own-some tragic, but others that bring humorous, laugh-aloud moments. His fascination for Hollywood movies, music, and news programs from an old stand-up radio, takes us back to those middle decades of the 20th century so etched in the American psyche. There's a delightful but troublesome mule-a prank of nature and best friend to our protagonist. Great Grandma-a first generation immigrant to America, heart of the family and playful matriarch with a fondness for terrorizing the grandkids with her glass eye. Ma and Pa-loving parents beset by frustration and tragedy. Uncle-a war-wounded veteran who tests his nephew's perceptions of life. Granma and Great Auntie-quiet and steady influences. And two wayward brothers-family nemeses and architects of their own bad end. Add in three dogs, a motley farmyard of other animals, including a massive and irritable hog named King Henry the Eighth, and we have a fine recipe for adventure and mayhem.
