Synopsis

Alice Greenough was a real-life cowgirl who became one of rodeo's biggest stars. Told through the eyes of Alice's younger sister, this story follows Alice from a spirited girl on the frontier to a celebrated performer in the arena — until she left home and never came back. The narrator pieces together what happened by reading old letters and looking at photographs, uncovering both the joy of Alice's adventures and the mystery surrounding her later life.
