Stay out of my life. Or Ill tell...That was over three years ago. The last time I talked to Amy McNair. One of the prettiest girls in school. Shes horse crazy. And an amazing barrel racer. But Im going to win at the annual rodeo. Beat her. Its all Ive got. Even my boyfriends parents dont accept me. Mainly because of my brothers. They arent exactly upstanding citizens. People think Im the same as them. If only they knew. From the Great Plains to the borderlands to the Mississippi Delta, rural America is struggling. The population is shrinking. And the economy is shifting away from agriculture. Without a safety net, rural families struggle with depression, drug abuse, alcoholism, and other problems. Gravel Road Rural addresses the contemporary issues affecting rural America in an unflinching way.
