I picked up Pa’s rifle, but my brother blocked the way.
“You’re shaming us,” he said.
“I ain’t shaming you,” I told him. “I’m saving you.”

When your childhood disappears in a blizzard. When you’re a girl in a man’s world. When the only thing that stands between you and a life worth having is a gun. You’re only going to get one shot.

A powerful and deeply moving coming-of-age drama inspired by the life of famous sharpshooter Annie Oakley.

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 13+.
