Publisher's Synopsis
Mama may not have taught Gracie much. But Mama did make sure Gracie was well-versed in the essentials: shooting, moonshining, and charming gentlemen callers. Gracie learns just how essential these skills are, as well as many others, as she goes from being a girl up in the mountains, down into town, then eventually, all the way across the great Continental Railroad to that magical land of California.
