Title: Cowboy Angst
First published: 1995
Description: Dennis McCance is on his way home for the summer to Prairie View, Montana, and he's a little nervous. Five months ago he dropped out of law school and hasn't yet mentioned it to the family. The reaction is going to be major. They had all been so pleased - and relieved - that finally he was facing up to responsibility after taking five years to finish college because he was more interested in playing drums in a country and western band. Dennis is trying to find himself. His best friend, Janey Bowman, aka Montana Wildhack, the band's singer, is looking too. She wants Dennis to join her in Austin to put another band together. But what if they turn forty and they're still waiting tables, hoping for a break?
