Cowgirl Dreams (Cowgirl Dreams #1) Signed! [B1307]

2008 signed PB in excellent condition. A novel based on the life of the author's grandmother, a real Montana cowgirl. Defying family and social pressure, Nettie Brady bucks 1920s convention with her dream of becoming a rodeo star. That means competing with men, and cowgirls who ride the rodeo circuit are considered loose women. Addicted to the thrill of pitting her strength and wits against a half-ton steer in a rodeo, Nettie exchanges skirts for pants, rides with her brothers on their Montana ranch, and competes in neighborhood rodeos.

Broken bones, killer influenza, flash floods, and family hardship team up to keep Nettie from her dreams. Then she meets a young neighbor cowboy who rides broncs and raises rodeo stock. Will this be Nettie s ticket to freedom and happiness? Will her rodeo dreams come true?

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "What an amazing life! Someone who didn't quite fit the "regular" profile of a 1920's young girl in Montana. She would rather be riding her horse doing outdoor work than me doing "women work"--cooking, cleaning ,sewing, etc. She had hard choices because she didn't go with the flow and made her own path. Luckily she found a man who appreciated her for what strengths she did have. I heard there is a sequel and can't wait."; "Heidi, an award winning author, has a real flair for the West. Her trilogy is outstanding, based on her own family history it's chock full of life on ranches, and growing up West."; "I am in love with Cowgirl Dreams, I just started the series. I ordered The Secrets of the Ice Castle recently for my niece! Love the Christian theme and discussion questions to go along with it! I am enamored and can't wait to read more. Happy also to have autographed books!"
