Barbara Newman always wanted to be a cowgirl.
This is her first novel..
An advocate for empowering girls, Barbara facilitates girls\' leadership programs, and was part of the think tank that inspired the Fred Rogers Center for Children\'s Media/Education.
After hearing an NPR story about the American cowgirl, she was so inspired, she left the ad world and found herself in Montana, Wyoming, and Texas filming a documentary about their lives.
She took that can-do spirit and became an award-winning global creative director, leaving an indelible mark on brand culture.
Growing up in New York didn\'t stop her.
