Review:
Sherri and her family have
moved again. This time to a small town called Gardin. Sherri learns that this
small town has a lot of separated groups who don’t seem to like each other very
much. There are the cattle ranchers, the meat packing plant workers and those
that work on the oil rigs. The ranchers don’t seem to like all the different
types of people who have come to their growing town where families are trying
to have work and therefore a better life. As Sherri and her family try to
establish themselves and fit in the trick is to make new friends and hope
everyone can embrace their differences.
