"What we want to do is give our women even more liberty than they have.
Let them do any kind of work that they see fit, and if they do it as
well as men, give them the same pay." -William F. Cody-1899

rough-riding cowboys, sure shots, and fantastic reenactments of battles
and train robberies, Buffalo Bill Cody brought the myth of the Old West

Life
does not end just because you die. This is the first of many lessons
Sherrie is faced with when her life is tragically cut short at the age
of fourteen. Overcome with a sense of loss and desperation, Sherrie is
suddenly thrust into the unknown and a Heaven she never could have
imagined. It is a Heaven where there is no one answer to anything; a
Heaven where lives are played out like movies and flowers grow tall in
each individual’s garden. There, with the help of her spirit guide,
Sera, she must review her own life in order to move on to the next
level. In order to do this, she must learn to let go of the things—and
people—she cares for, come to terms with her unhappy past, accept that
which she cannot change, and forgive the mother who never loved her.
