Devoto's novel recalls life in small-town, 1950s Alabama where Tabitha's favorite cowboy is Roy Rogers and her best friend Maudie May's is Gene Autry. As their friendship develops and challenges social conventions, Tabitha understands the racial and class dynamics of her hometown, and the limits of her own possibilities as the white-hatted hero who can come to the rescue.
