A young racehorse, a heartbreakingly hopeful dreamer, and a town full of high-stakes choices set the pulse racing.
Turn to the Right follows Peter Turner as a dramatic race at Belmont Park reshapes his life.

The book juxtaposes the roar of the crowd with intimate, quiet moments of choice, drawing the reader into a world where fortune can change in an instant and friendships carry real weight.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Down around the loop where the race-track curved gracefully on its course to the judges stand came sixty equine legs with fifty thousand human eyes fastened on them. On this footing, and with this attention, the reader will understand that a climax in the sport of kings was approaching. One pair of the eyes belonged to a checksuited, slim, ingenuous and not over prosperous-looking youth of about twenty-two, who was seated in the grand stand. His name was Peter Turner, and he was deeply interested in the climax. For three days this unfolding event had been the main topic of conversation in racing circles, the subject of many columns of reading matter in newspapers pink and white. It was Spring, the season typical of youth.
