Synopsis
It's hot, dusty hot. Droughts of the
1930s hot. One hundred ten degrees in the shade hot
Fourth of July hot. Smart,
straightforward Lizzie Curry should have been married by now. She
isn't because, well, she's smart and straightforward and wants her
man to be the same. She lets her father and brothers convince her to
allow herself to be "set up" with Sheriff File at the town picnic
He doesn't show. But Starbuck does.
The stranger promises to make it rain within 24 hours for the price
of a Benjamin
Ca Starbuck make it rain? Can Lizzie
find what if feels like to be loved?
