Sissy Hankshaw is born with enormous thumbs that she uses to best advantage from a young age: she begins a hitchhiking odyssey across the United States. On her adventures to far-flung places, she accumulates a collection of renegade women—cowgirls—who only want their fair share of the myth that is the Wild West. Together they seize a ladies-only spa and transform it into the most rollicking ranch in America, where more than the resident cranes are whooping. Tom Robbins’ 1979 novel was a favorite of the late-1970s counterculture.
