ñStay out of my life. Or IÍll tell.î That was over three years ago. The last time I talked to Amy McNair. One of the prettiest girls in school. SheÍs horse crazy. And an amazing barrel racer. But IÍm going to win at the annual rodeo. Beat her. ItÍs all IÍve got. Even my boyfriendÍs parents donÍt accept me. Mainly because of my brothers. They arenÍt exactly upstanding citizens. People think IÍm the same as them. If only they knew. From the Great Plains to the borderlands to the Mississippi Delta, rural America is struggling. The population is shrinking. And the economy is shifting away from agriculture. Without a safety net, rural families struggle with depression, drug abuse, alcoholism, and other problems. Gravel Road Rural addresses the contemporary issues affecting rural America in an unflinching way.
