Here’s what fifteen-year-old Cindy Crowe knows for sure: High school sucks, fathers (earthly and heavenly) are a major disappointment, and perfect, rich ex-BFF’s get all the breaks. Her only real friends have head-to-toe body hair and live in a barn.

Armed with determination and horsepower from an adopted Mustang named Arion, Cindy sets her sights on barrel racing glory. If only she can avoid distractions—like disappointment, rhinestoned rodeo queens, and a certain cute bull rider.

Ultimately, Cindy discovers that any dream worth having also has the power to break your heart . . . and change your life forever.
