She Failed English. She Built It Anyway.
She grew up poor, with no roadmap and no permission. Dee Yates turned a $600 Costco camera into a career, built a women's magazine, and took over Ropers Sports News against a good old boys' club. Part memoir, part battle plan, every chapter ends with a challenge to stop waiting and start building.

Four Friends. Endless Rodeo Fun!
Book One
Every spring, Josie Mae and her three best friends return to Cloverdale Arena for the first rodeo of the season—and to the old Crow’s Nest they’ve claimed as their own. But this year, their reunion gets muddy fast. When the cattle pen beneath the Crow’s Nest mysteriously floods, Josie Mae, Codie, Quinn, and Tawny set out to figure out what happened. What starts as a broken-water-line mystery soon turns into something much bigger, forcing the girls to trust one another, speak up when it matters, and discover that being brave doesn’t always mean having all the answers. Told through Josie Mae’s funny, sharp-eyed voice, Reunion Rodeo is a story about horses, rodeo life, friendship, belonging, and four girls learning that the strongest things are rarely built alone.
Buy with More payment options Codie Peterson knows everything that happens at Cloverdale before anybody else does. She isn't a gossip. Gossip is when you're trying to make somebody look bad. Codie is just interested — and standing behind her mother at the can trailer happens to be the best place on the grounds to learn who scratched, who's fighting, and whose horse came up sore. Then it's her turn to be the news. Back in February, Codie stood in a room and sang for two ladies with a clipboard, and they said yes, and she was so happy she could barely get to the truck. Now it's April. On Sunday morning, at the grand entry, in front of every single person on those grounds, she is singing the national anthem. Nobody made her. She asked for it. That is the part she keeps coming back to. She has told exactly three people.
Buy with More payment options Tawny Talltrees has never been to Harlow Ranch Arena. Everybody else has, about a hundred times, and every one of them says the same thing when she asks what it's like — that she'll see. What she sees, standing at a fence on Friday night, is nine horses out of eleven put their heads up in the same twenty feet of alley and look at the same thing. Nobody else is counting. And when Tawny works out what's up there under the eave of the announcer's box, and does the right thing and tells a grown-up, she learns something nobody warned her about: doing the right thing has a cost, and somebody else pays it.
Quinn Bianchi notices everything. She reads every wall at every rodeo. She can tell you what a girl she has never met ran in poles three weeks ago at an arena two hours over the ridge. She knows what her horse is asking her, and she knows when she isn't answering. What she has never once had to work out is a boy. He hands her a coffee at the water station on a Saturday morning, in front of everybody, and says her name at the end when he didn't have to.Medium length title text goes here
