Riverbend was a quiet little town, the kind of place where one day was just like all the rest and nothing ever happened. Occasionally the stagecoach rolled through, but it never stopped, because no one ever came to Riverbend and no one ever left.

Soon it was everywhere in the tidy little village. Something had to be done, and Sheriff Hardy aimed to do it.

A strong cowgirl isn't perfect but chooses courage, the cowgirl way, most often. As you read about choices may you see the value and power they hold. Each challenge we face in life, and we will face them, offers a choice of how to respond.
*Scriptures are included to represent each choice.
Cowgirl is a spirit; an attitude. The choice of a life lived with courage, conviction, faith and intention. Cowgirls wish on stars and dandelions but then get to work to make them happen. The cowgirl takes care of her animals, helps friends, takes care of others, offers wisdom, rides her horse; and her little white dog can be found on every page. She trusts that all things work together for the good of all. The Heart of a Cowgirl is based on Proverbs 31 and as you read about the cowgirl may the words encourage you to keep saddling up and roping your dreams
