Set against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, this coming-of-age memoir takes place in the 1950s during three transformative summers she spent on a horse ranch. At age 13, Parker's parents allowed her to go west to live her dream where she met her first love—a horse nick-named Tank. She spent her summers riding, wrangling, and sleeping out under the stars while her extraordinary relationship with Tank developed. Like the rugged mountains in which these events took place, this story has rapidly shifting light and shadow that Parker artfully captures through humor and well-wrought descriptions of life on the ranch. 4.8 Stars, 64 ratings on Amazon.
