JAPANESE LANGUAGE translation of a cowgirl fiction novel set in the American WILD WEST of the early 1900s. The story is about Maisy, a runaway young girl who escapes an arranged marriage. With nothing but a cranky horse, she rides off into the night. She heads west to live off the land. Along the way she meets other young women — misfits and outcasts. Together they form their own travelling rodeo show. In the rought and tumble American West run by men, they forge their own destiny, to live by their own rules, on their own terms. But tragedy strikes. They are betrayed, and Maisy is so broken that she hides inside her own shell. Years later, she meets her granddaughter, a girl who has her own problems. As Maisy slowly reveals to her granddaughter her glory days in the Wild West, together they are both healed and find redemption.
