     Though 26 years have passed since leaving Barber County, the love for those gyp
  hills remains. Meade remembers the days hea nd his dad saddled their horses, called
  to the greyhounds, and rode those steep hills and deep canyons to catch a coyote. 
  Billie recalls the days Tom Sisk would leave the blacksmith shop and bring a hot
  lunch on a snowy cold day to this ten girls at school.
