Description

The highly anticipated new novel from beloved Australian writer Fiona McCallum. Jessica Harrington is a promising horse-rider who dreams of representing her country. But the recent death of her father -- her coach and mentor -- has left her doubting her ability to continue in the sport. When she fails at the Adelaide International Horse Trials her fears are confirmed -- and her world begins to fall apart. Unable to bear seeing her well-bred, highly trained horses languishing in the paddock, she makes the snap decision to sell. She's broken her own heart, but can't see any other way -- now she will just have to focus on a life without them. Her husband Steve and best friend Tiffany, however, can see through her bravado. Jessica is dismayed when Steve brings home a horse from a clearing sale, a horse so skinny and forlorn he just couldn't leave it behind. Unwilling to be drawn back into the world of horses, she's reluctant to get involved. But when a summer thunderstorm brings on a life-or-death emergency, she finds she underestimated the heart of one little horse. Can Jessica put her trust in Faith
