Amarillo by Morning

Once a world champion bull rider in the PRCA, forty-two year old "Stick" Slaton finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place—or so he thinks. A wind blowing in from the horizon whispers his name. It tempts his adventurous spirit to relinquish the obligation of caring for his sister-in-law and nephew on behalf of his deceased brother. However, his love for them and ranch will not allow him to concede. Then, his nephew’s life is suddenly at stake and Stick must make the decision to leave. The only opportunity to help is offered him by the dangerous sport of bull riding. So, twenty years after his first championship, Stick finds himself racing once again for the National Finals. He must make it to Amarillo by Morning, where everything is on the line. As he does so, he slowly comes to realize that something has changed—but what is it?
