Garth Laurence is small, slender and pretty, not the best combination for a boy living in Big Lonesome, AZ. Mistaken for a girl by one of his sister's customers, Garry-Larry suddenly has to deal with almost everyone making the same mistake. And they want to give him things, clothes, money, dinner.... All while thinking he's a girl and maybe in the same business as his sister.

They must want something from him, but what? He's certain he knows but is afraid to find out for sure.
