The Boston Cowgirl Billy Edd Wheeler

Sharp-tongued and spoiled, sixteen-year-old Alexandra Belmont is used to getting her way. Despite being educated at Harvard, young Miss Alex has a lot to learn when she finds herself stranded in the frontier of North Texas. Luckily, she is rescued by Dan and Tom Leatherwood and is allowed to join them on their cattle drive. Alexandra learns the simple truth that traveling through the harsh western landscape requires relying on community, and every member earns their keep. Miss Alex learns to keep up, and teaches those cowboys a few life lessons along the way. Legendary songwriter Billy Edd Wheeler combines his love of music with his decades of writing experience to bring to life a unique aspect of the Old West. This charming reimagining of Kipling's "Captain Courageous" explores the common ground between the American West and urban life. At the heart of the American west was the cattle drive and the people who endeavored to make their fortune out west. But these people had fears, lives, and dreams that made the west their own. Whether it's the survival lessons, authentic 1880s history, or the singing and yarning by the fire, Boston Cowgirl breathes new life into a classic western tale. Join Alexandra and Dan on the defining journey of their lives that showcases the songwriting of Billy Edd Wheeler.
