November 11, 1995, at the age of 25, former bullriding champion Glen Pee Wee Mercer suffered an accident while dismounting a bull at the Southeastern Circuit Final at Brighton, Florida which resulted in a broken neck and severed spinal cord, thus changing his life forever. The Last Ride is the dramatic story of his life both before and after the accident.Although this book covers Pee Wee's rodeo career throughout Florida and many other parts of the U.S., it is not just a book about rodeo. It is also the story of young love gone awry, of adventure, high humor, youthful exuberance during those years when young people think they are indestructible, of hopes and dreams of the future and how those hopes and dreams are shattered forever in just one split second of time.As co-author Patrick Smith says at the end of this book, Pee Wee Mercer is truly a Profile in Courage.
