Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Faye finds an old diary at a tack sale and becomes absorbed in the life of Mary Inglis and her mount, Colleen, as they train and ride as show jumpers. It's a wonderful distraction from Faye's state of mind. She's been taking some time off from jumping to recover from a fall. While her shoulder is getting better, her memories aren't. Every time she recalls the fall, she panics.
In this fourth Hillcroft Farm novel, horsewoman and talented storyteller Julie White skillfully intertwines a tale from the early days of women in international competition with Faye's journey back to the show ring after a nasty accident.
Faye's winning streak has ended with a bad fall. She needs time off from the show ring to heal her shoulder, but no one knows how reluctant she is to return. Every time she recalls the fall or thinks about mounting up again, her heart races and she feels sick. She's so afraid, she can't even admit it to herself: What if not just her winning streak is over? Then, at a tack sale, she finds an old diary and meets Mary Inglis and her amazing jumper Colleen. Nothing can stop the horse, but the girl faces all kinds of obstacles: her young age, her gender and a secret about her horse that could ruin everything. Suddenly, the diary entries end. 'What happened to Mary?' wonders Faye. 'And why does it matter so much to me?'
