Even cowgirls get the blues - Tom Robbins

The outrageous bestseller that stars Sissy Hankshaw--flawlessly beautiful, almost.

A small-town girl with big-time dreams and a quirk to match--hitchhiking her way into your heart, your hopes, and your sleeping bag.

Follow Sissy's amazing odyssey from Virginia to Manhattan to the Dakota Badlands, where FBI agents, cowgirls and ecstatic whooping cranes explode in a deliciously drawn-out climax.

This is one of those special novels--a piece of working magic, warm, funny, and sane.

--Thomas Pynchon The whooping crane rustlers are girls.

Young girls.

Cowgirls, as a matter of fact, all bursting with dimples and hormones--and the FBI has never seen anything quite like them.

Yet their rebellion at the Rubber Rose Ranch is almost overshadowed by the arrival of the legendary Sissy Hankshaw, a white-trash goddess literally born to hitchhike, and the freest female of them all.

Freedom, its prizes and its prices, is a major theme of Tom Robbins's classic tale of eccentric adventure.

As his robust characters attempt to turn the tables on fate, the reader is drawn along on a tragicomic joyride across the badlands of sexuality, wild rivers of language, and the frontiers of the mind.
