You're never too old to learn-or too young Good-looking, good-hearted Charley Bristow's the most sought-after hair stylist in five West Texas counties. He's an expert on the dance floor and sharp at the pool tables, too-but when it comes to picking cars, dogs, and women, luck hasn't quite gone his way lately. And there's the ever-present worry over his mother, whose own trailer-park plight he'd just as soon steer clear of. Just when he's sworn off temptation of the female sort, an evening at the local honky-tonk drives two prime targets right into his path. Weighing the sudden wealth of options in his love life, while also searching for the right choice of wheels to suit his needs, Charley stumbles upon a long-hidden secret and an unforeseen road to redemption. The colorful denizens of the Wild Hare Salon, Jarod's Automotive, and Hopper's nightclub, along with those of the Briargrove First Methodist Church and the Sulfur Gap Centennial Celebration, will two-step their way right into your heart, to music as familiar as Willie Nelson and Charley Pride. And you just might start to fall in love with an old Johnny Mercer tune, too, as Charley Bristow faces his past and embraces the challenge of his future.
