“This is a glimpse of rural life in 1976 Holt County, Nebraska. Joe Bauer, a dyslexic twelve-year old boy, watched a dust devil of activities take place around his family’s failing cattle ranch. Surrounded by interesting characters; his hard-working mother, his range detective father, the county sheriff, a local priest, and a worshiper of Satan – he witnessed the presence of evil and nearly died twice. In the end, it would be one of the best times of his life.” – Barbed Wire Runs Through It
