Game, Guns, and American Infatuation chronicles one woman’s hunt for identity as an American woman raised in northern Wyoming at the foot of the Bighorn mountains where hunting is part of the cultural heritage, and the harsh realities of the landscape make the badlands both literal and figurative. Her journey takes her from Wyoming to Guam to Kansas, but what she discovers is that her terroir remains: We can search for peace or equity. We can hunt for mutual understanding. We can call it whatever we like, but we are all bound by the rules of the game: We must wander this earth as the animals we are, caught in the helix we call our lives.
