Wyoming's untamed daughter, Barbara Bragg, spins theatrical magic
from the stories that won't leave her alone...
...from her father's ghost stories of the old West
to a sister who swallows stars...
— even Dick Cheney makes a guest appearance!
It's an exhilarating journey from gut-wrenching
to darkly funny to piercingly truthful...
...as the True West Girl wrestles with the angels and demons
howling in her soul like the prairie wind.
