Amazing book. As a life-long lover of horses, it's not surprising I loved this story so much.

I did not realize at first this was historical fiction. Almost all of the events actually happened and all the characters, (except for Jarrett) including the horses, were real.

Published in 2022, the author had incredible foresight into what life was going to be like now, in 2025. Jaw-dropping.
