thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing and Catherine Ryan Hyde for the opportunity to read and review her latest novel - wonderful as always. I'm just a sucker for her books!
Faith (perfect name of course) runs away from her husband and is controlling ways. She takes refuge at her parents' California beach house while she decides what to do with her life. One day on the beach, she encounters a 14-year-old named Sarah. Sarah is with her grandmother and they are running away from problems of their own - Sarah's mother just died and her father sold off her beloved horse, Midnight. Constance (another great name) is trying to get custody of Sarah but for now they are hiding out from Sarah's father. Suddenly, Faith is forced to take Faith with Constance's blessing and stay out of sight. They end up going to the stable area where Midnight has been sold and helping the horse's transition.
The world of dressage horses was certainly new to me but the main focus of this novel, like all of this author's, is the relationship between all these people. As I read this book, I kept thinking to myself - how would I act in this situation? Would I say those perfect words? No. But it's wonderful to read those perfect words and see everything come together in the end.
