About this audiobook
No, The Horse (Don’t Worry, I Won’t Shoot You) follows the lives of Chester “Chet” Rawlins and Mary Ellen as they build a future in the turbulent decades following World War II. From the garages of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the ranch lands and oil fields of Texas, the Rawlins family navigates ambition, risk, and the unpredictable forces of business and family life.
At the center of the story is the partnership between Chet and Mary Ellen—two strong-willed people whose marriage must carry the weight of opportunity, loyalty, and the consequences of bold decisions.
Blending racing history, ranch life, and the rise of the postwar oil economy, this novel captures a time when fortunes were made by those willing to live a little closer to the edge.
