Synopsis

In 1960s New York, seventeen-year-old Rachel McMahon has grown up on the backside of Belmont Park exercising race horses for her mother, a rare female trainer in a sport dominated by men. Her mother, however, doesn’t support her dream, fearing for her safety, not simply because of the inherent dangers of riding a high-spirited racehorse on the track, but because of the attacks other pioneering women jockeys have dealt with across the country. Even so, the greatest threat to her dream was her abduction and subsequent torture at the hands of a depraved and evil man—a man she calls the “monster.” Nightmares and flashbacks take control of her life and threaten to destroy her. But then she met Erick, who shares her dream, and is determined to help her find her way out of the nightmares and back to her dreams. With the help of Chivalry, their barn’s newest and most promising horse, Rachel and her family set their sights on the most prestigious race in the country—The Kentucky Derby. But with the intense pushback from the male jockeys and the fans, they wonder if it’s all worth it. Will Rachel be able to hold on through the storms coming against her?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Raised in Southern Maryland, Kristie Higgins grew up as a horse lover, riding friends’ horses whenever possible. Short stories written as a horse-obsessed teenager have stuck with her and are now emerging as novels. She is a graduate of Indiana University, Bloomington and a retired instrumental music teacher. She taught in various elementary schools in Maryland for twelve years before retir-ing. No musician can ever give up music, so she plays keyboards in her church, with her two teenage sons playing guitar and bass alongside. At the end of the day, she relaxes, watching horseracing and writing with the help of her two cats, Shadow and Cookie.
