But one day Billy takes his horse, Big- Enough, and departs to pursue his true destiny, finding adventure, adversity, and, ultimately, manhood. BIG- ENOUGH is a coming-of-age-in-the-West novel of the highest quality, capturing the spirit of a young cowboy, his best horse, and the American West itself.
