Life on the ranch and life in high school is the backdrop for this coming of age story set in rural Oklahoma. Summers spent riding the range and working cattle, aimless drives down country roads and nights at the rodeo, give way to life in the classrooms and the social drama of high school. This is the story of country kids growing up in two worlds: the hard reality of ranch life and the demanding expectations of high school, and what both mean for their futures. Written in a series of poems with a wry sense of humor and honest insight, each poem reflects an aspect of life, the whole comes together as a very real story of what it means to be a country kid in a modern world.
