Raise by Kiera Butler
When city-dwelling journalist visits a county fair for the first time, she is captivated by the white-uniformed members of the 4-H club and their perfectly groomed animals. She sets off on a search for a real 4-H'er, a hypothetical wholesome youth whom she imagines wearing cowboy boots and living on a ranch. This book tells her story.
