A racehorse trainer by profession, Bob lived and died by the sword. Through his daughter's perspective, the reader enjoys an insider's view of what it was like to grow up in the Quarter Horse racing industry in the 1960s-the excitement of a match race and the exhilaration of racing world-champion horses-and outside the arena, her memories of hidden guns, roadblocks, a bookie joint and a murder. Older readers will recall the less constrained past, and younger readers will thrill to the tune of life as it was in those days ... and be amazed at how quickly everything can change.
