A Life Filled With Awesome Love — Ryan Field

It's 1959 and young Travis Swanson discovers that living in the same small Montana town where he grew up is suffocating. So he devises a long term plan to get out of his situation and change his circumstances, but there aren't that many options for men like him and he has to settle for the best thing that comes along. In his case, this comes in the form of an advertisement at the back of a rodeo magazine. He answers an unusual ad for a ranch hand job in Western Montana and finds himself communicating with a cowboy named O'Dell Johnston. After a series of letters pass between them Travis decides to take the job and move into O'Dell's house. But he soon learns that although some things are better than he expected and O'Dell is an articulate lover, some things just don't make sense. And Travis is not sure he can live with a man who has so many secrets, won't install central heat, and rarely ever discusses his past…a past that includes the mysterious deaths of the two young ranch hands before Travis.
