Description
It's 1895 and fourteen year old Hannah Brandt is struggling as a pioneer on a Nebraska homestead. When her imagination is captured by a wild filly, she becomes obsessed with horses, opening the door to her destiny. Just three years later she enters a relay race at the first Cheyenne Frontier Days and her fate is sealed. She takes on a new name, Sunny Gale, and pursues her career in rodeo much to the disgust of her young husband. Sunny defies convention with every move as the drive to compete takes over her life, leaving everything else behind, including husbands and children.
Award-winning author Jamie Lisa Forbes has once again brought us complex characters in a saga based on real women when rodeo was wide open for them to become stars. It is a story of a woman determined to find glory no matter how high the personal cost or where the trail might lead.
