Sissy Hankshaw has enormous thumbs...so she naturally becomes a hitchhiker. On her far-flung odyssey across the U. S., she encounters and collects a variety of colorful renegade women -- cowgirls -- who all just want their fair share of the myth that is the Wild West. Book-It puts their unique spin on Tom Robbins' 1979 novel -- a 1970s counterculture favorite.
