This book is a tribute to the author's remarkable family and the legends of the rodeo world. The reader does not have to be a horse person to enjoy this book. The setting is the rodeo arena, but the life lessons apply to all of us. Such as:

* Put God first

* You can do anything

* Be honest

* Laugh at yourself

* Stand up for what you believe

* Attitude is everything

* You are never too old

* There is no such thing as easy money

* Stand by your man

* Enjoy the moment

* Know what is important

Read inspirational stories about:

* 18-year-old, John Roddy who immigrated from Ireland with $18 with dreams of being a cowboy and became a millionaire after prohibition and then owning the world's longest bar in San Francisco.

* RSC- the Rodeo Stock Contracting Company, The American Rodeo Show in Japan, and Oscar the Bull

* Dr. Nolan Sharp, the first large animal veterinarian to use acupuncture on horses, who performed a sex-change operation on a cow and devised a prosthetic limb for a calf.

Laugh out loud at hysterical stories about Marian Sharp, including when she got her ponytail cut off and handled to her, the Pyramid scheme and the arrest that followed, and everyone's favorite, the inversion boot story. The common refrain she heard was, "You just can't make this up."

Life with her was never dull!
