in this collection of poems, 16 year old Eden stays for a month at her grandparents' cattle ranch in Tennessee, far away from her hometown in Wyoming. She learns how to work and help at a cattle ranch, and much more, and also gets to know her family that she never really got to spend time with before. During this journey, Eden experiences a newfound love in many forms: love for herself, for a kind but mysterious Tennessee cowboy who helps out from down the dirt road, and for a religion she never considered herself a part of.

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance."

He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed.
