Robert Elliot has one thing on his mind: bronc riding. The Indian National Finals Rodeo is within reach, and he’s not about to let anything ruin his chances of going pro. Not even the woman he finds asleep in the stall of their rankest horse.

“Native culture were deftly woven into the narrative and warmed my heart. Rita Runninghorse was a strong Native woman who would stop at nothing to escape an abusive situation and protect her family. Robert, Bronco Bobby” Elliot was a bronco horse rider with integrity who was also courageous and protective of those he loved.
