Eight Seconds by Jean Ferris
The book 8 Seconds by Jean Ferris tells the interesting story of a dedicated rodeo cowboy and his experiences. The cowboy, Russ, is a begginer cowboy in the beginning of the novel and attends “cowboy camp” over the summer. At cowboy camp, he is responsible for bettering his rodeo skills and impressing his family and his father most importantly. At the camp he becomes great friends with another cowboy and they have several late night talks about their problems. An undeclared relationship arouses over time and when it becomes public, Russ’ family is quite dissapointed. The novel creates much tension that intrigues the reader. 8 Seconds is a novel to be taken off the bookshelf.
