Amy Hale Auker
From the Texas Panhandle, Amy Auker has been writing down her life, albeit young, among cattle, horses, wildlife and rural people native to a harsh landscape. As Red Steagall penned across the back of “Rightful Place” from Texas Tech University Press (2011), “…she writes through a window that no one else has discovered.” Mother of two children, she lives on the Spider Ranch in Arizona.

Dry Crik Review 
RIGHTFUL PLACE affirms both the grace and intensity of Western life. It is a beautiful book. I’m grateful to the people who introduced me to Amy Hale Auker’s writing, and more grateful to her for the exquisite descriptions she serves up as a gift to her readers.
Amy Hale Auker’s essays touch something deep within me. I have purchased multiple copies of Rightful Place, some to keep…some to give and some to loan. I have never lived or worked on a ranch…but this book touches something in me, I love it! It appeals to people from all walks of life. I am so thankful I saw her essay in “Cowboy and Indians” magazine and ordered her book! Cheryl Estill
