With his trusty dog by his side and his caring sister ready to help, Jim bravely leads the search across the ranch. Yet after struggling with his rope all day, he can’t help but wonder …
Will he be able to save her when she needs him most?

“Davis offers a straightforward third-person narrative, with the typeface cantering across the open skies and grassy fields of Sharma’s illustrations . . . The author based the characters and plot on the real-life history of her grandfather, whose appended two-page biography gives the work a timeless feel.
A serene, sun-drenched foray into Texan ranch life.”
