A Girl, A Ranch, and A Rodeo

Elias Plumb spent his adult life building a tech empire in Northern California and in the process made a terrible mistake. Instead of being the kind of father he should have been, he tried to buy his daughter's love and affection.

He's not about to make the same mistake with his granddaughter, Katie.

No, Elias is finally going to give his granddaughter the kind of love she really deserves. And it all starts with sending Katie to the last place on earth she'd ever want to go. A cattle ranch in Nebraska.

"A Girl, A Ranch, and A Rodeo" is a classic fish out of water story about what happens when a spoiled and immature girl from Northern California joins the Pendleton Ranch in the beautiful Sandhills of Nebraska.

And though Katie Plumb's experience of the ranching life is initially quite rough, she eventually rises to the challenge and learns valuable lessons along the way.
