by Sally M. Keehn
Having been promised by her dying mother that she could have a horse, 14-year-old narrator Willo, heedless of her maternal grandfather's admonition, insists on buying the first one she sees: Tess, a bony and battered former racehorse.
Seeing that Willo has little control over her potentially dangerous mount, her autocratic and hard-drinking father gives her a deadline to get Tess in hand. As Willo makes progress under the expertise of riding instructor Diana, her fierce commitment to Tess grows ever stronger, as do her feelings for Diana's son, Colin. But heartache follows soon on the heels of their first kiss, for he and his mother must flee from Diana's abusive husband. Keehn movingly illustrates the redemptive power of love, as well as the importance of letting go when love just isn't enough.
