This book has nothing to do with Jameson Parker's acting career--it is a rambling mess that is 90% about him taking care of horses and cattle, with the other 10% being interspersed comments on his depression. There is nothing linear, so things are all mixed up and dates are not given. You don't get to him being shot until page 175, which actually happened years before he became a cowboy. He refers to his depression and being suicidal earlier in the book but it makes no sense in context because he hasn't explained why. It is a big disappointment if you are looking for something about his career. Why couldn't he say something about the projects he has been involved in or told more about being married to the famous Darleen Carr? Instead, if you want to read boring, detailed stories about the cowboy life then you might enjoy it.
