Synopsis
A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Religion and Spirituality Book for Fall 2022 Two courageous young women, tied together by blood and shared passion, will risk everything to save what they love most. For as long as she can remember, Allie Massey, a gifted physical therapist, has dreamed of making her grandparents’ ten-acre estate into a trauma recovery center using equine therapy—a dream her grandmother, Nana Dale, embraced wholeheartedly. But when her grandmother’s will is read, Allie is shocked to learn the property has been sold to a developer. Decades earlier, headstrong Dale Butler’s driving passion is to bring home the prized filly her family lost to the Great Depression, but with World War II looming, she’s called upon in ways she never could have imagined. And while her world expands to include new friends and new love, tragedy strikes close to home one fateful night during the Battle of the Atlantic, changing her life forever. As Nana Dale’s past comes to light in Allie’s search for answers, Dale’s courage and persistence may be just what Allie needs to carry on her grandmother’s legacy and keep her own dreams alive.
My Review
This was a brilliant book and perfect for horse lovers, historical fiction/women's fiction fans. I loved the mystery element to this book which evolves around horse riding/ teaching disabled children and horses used during the war. Especially those who would ride the beaches searching for submarines or boats. This dual timeline book was fascinating as the female protagonist hopes to solve the mystery of her grandmother's life. I just had to read this book in one day as it made me feel so good I just didn't want it to end. The characters were brilliant and realistic and brought out the wonderful sense of atmosphere created by them. It was a medium pace book that was definitely well wrote and very engaging. I definitely recommend that you give this book a go as it's such an interesting story. I believe the facts in this book were confirmed as true hence, I also learnt so much from reading it.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a wonderful horse based storyline that I'm sure you will love.
