Maddie lives on a family farm in Southeastern Oklahoma where she is trying to convince her dad that the farm needs goats. But he's not listening too well. As if that wasn't hard enough, how is she going to get handsome Emiliano to notice her when she's busy putting up with the horrible Harold's pestering antics and spoiled and prissy Ruth Ann's self absorption. Maddie is forced to examine her family's values and decide for herself what makes her truly happy. Read about family, friendship, life on the farm, meat goats and guardian dogs as Maddie combines the pain of preadolescence with the joys of everyday living.
