As soon as I got hold of this book I wanted to read it. It looks good, with an appealing cover, soft cream pages and a clear font.
The story is about Sasha, an emotionally damaged twelve-year-old in care. Sasha and her social worker are on their way to a temporary foster home after yet another placement has failed. The social worker is tired. Sasha is stroppy. She didn't get on with the people she'd been living with, but something good had come out of that experience: she'd been able to have riding lessons. Sasha loves horses - and now she dreads another change.
But when they arrive she finds that her new foster carers, Beth and Joe, train and rehabilitate difficult horses. Sasha is allowed to help care for the horses - in particular one named Meteor. Sasha builds a special bond with Meteor, who has been badly treated in the past and is wary and fearful. With Joe's guidance, she learns how to get him to trust her.
Sasha longs to stay with Beth and Joe, and she tries desperately to make herself indispensable to them so that they will want to keep her. But within a few weeks her social worker tells her she has found her a new, permanent home. Sasha is distraught. Why don't Beth and Joe want her? What can she do to make them change their minds?
I was gripped by this story right from the start. It's so involving, so emotionally intense, that it sweeps you along with it and is almost impossible to put down. Everything is seen through Sasha's eyes, and the drama comes from the powerful feelings she experiences but can't express.
It's written in a clear, simple style that makes the story very accessible. And what a refreshing change it is to read something written in the third person, past tense, with no changes of viewpoint and a straightforward narrative.
I think any horse-mad girl (or boy) would gobble this story up. But you don't need to be a horse-lover to enjoy it. I'm not, but I loved reading about the horses and learned a lot about how they behave and how to care for them. There are no villains here, and no unlikely adventures. It all rings true, and it builds to a tense and highly-charged ending. I've always said I'm one of those readers who never cry - but I did with this one.
Available from Amazon in a print edition or as a Kindle e-book.

Hello to everyone around the globe. I'm Jefferey Vargas from Malta. My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and aside from God, having more money is often seen as vital. For spellcasting, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation, but after connecting with Lord Meduza, he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it's occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza. I strongly encourage everyone here to reach him for help via email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com OR you WhatsApp this number: +1 (807) 907-2687. As his efforts are the epitome of excellence.
Je suis tellement reconnaissante et heureuse de partager mon témoignage. Mon ex-petit ami m'a quittée il y a plus d'un an, persuadé que je le trompais, alors que j'étais innocente. J'étais dévastée et j'avais perdu tout espoir.
Après avoir contacté le Dr Dan, il m'a écoutée avec bienveillance et compréhension et a réalisé un puissant rituel d'amour. Peu de temps après, mon ex a repris contact avec moi, a compris la vérité, s'est excusé et m'a demandé pardon. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes pleinement réconciliés et amoureux à nouveau ❤️.
Un immense merci, Dr Dan, d'avoir restauré ma relation et mon bonheur. Je vous en serai éternellement reconnaissante 🙏✨

Before I became a lottery winner, I wondered how other lottery winners had done it because I thought it was impossible then, until Chief Ade helped me with his spiritual prayer that works urgently. I was scared to try spell because of what I heard about it, but I still gave it a try and let Chief Ade do what he knows how to do best. Chief Ade put in work after I provided all the necessary materials needed for the work, he gave me the lottery numbers the next day and instructed me on how to play which I did, I won the 65 MILLION LOTTO MAX jackpot the next day and I was so happy to announce to my wife and children about my wins, I'm Mark Hanley of Newmarket, Ontario. I'm sharing my great experience to you all who are finding it difficult to win the lottery, reach out to Chief Ade on chiefadespellhome@gmail.com OR WhatsApp +234 901 380 6328 you will never regret contacting Chief Ade
My marriage with my husband was all blissful till the day he walked away and never returned. I was broken and helpless and so many loved ones came through for me to join forces with me to resolve the misunderstandings i had with him but nothing was effective. He left me and our boys and before i could get to know anything else about him, i was told he is presently with an Asian lady and i knew that i had to fight to win him back to us. I had to reach out to dr isikolo and he came right on time to help me fix the problems. I was made to understand the procedures on how everything i wanted will duly happen and i complied. Dr Isikolo was hastened to fix the problems in my marriage knowing my husband was about being taken wrongfully and just as he promised, the result of his works manifested and my husband got back home to us. I cant thank him enough for everything. You can contact Dr Isikolo on his page: https://isikolo-temple.com or WhatsApp text on +234-8133261196
We were truly happy together and never for once did I think I would be deserted and abandoned by my fiancé until it actually happened. While we were happy together I told him to checkmate whoever is around him that doesn’t want us to be together and he did and answered me that they were all happy. My perception about his people were different and truly as I perceived, they lied against me and did all that they could to separate us and he left me. I never cheated but they told him that I was seeing someone else and he believed. My efforts never yielded any good results in getting us back until Dr Isikolo helped me. He worked for me and fixed the problems and also ensured he got the information on how his sister was manipulating him to forget about me. I am glad I contacted Dr Isikolo and now we are getting married soon and to be together forever.

I am truly grateful for the support I received from Ilekhojie after my relationship went through dark time. When my relationship seemed beyond repair, I felt lost and unsure of what to do because i loved my partner so much. Through Ilekhojie’s guidance and reconciliation ritual, I was able to communicate more honestly, reflect on my own actions, and approach reconciliation with patience and respect. Within a few days, my ex and I had meaningful conversations that helped us rebuild trust and reconnect with each other. Today, we are back together and working toward a healthier, stronger relationship. I’m thankful for the positive role Ilekhojie played in encouraging growth, understanding, and reconciliation during such a difficult period in our lives. He has done similar thing for so many people and i am grateful for his help. I leave his contact here so you can also seek help from him.

After months of separation, our marriage seemed beyond repair. We were both hurt, barely communicating, and already giving up. Through Ilekhojie's guidance, we learned how to forgive and rebuild trust one step at a time. The practical reconciliation and encouragement helped us address the issues that had driven us apart for a long time instead of avoiding them. Today, we are living together again with renewed understanding and hope for our future. We are deeply grateful for the positive impact Ilekhojie had on our journey toward reconciliation. This experience reminded us that healing is possible when both partners are willing to work together with the right support. Call him +2348147400259 or Email: gethelp05@gmail.com to get urgent help
If i had known that there is a possibility of getting my dream man, i would not have wasted my time with a lot of men. I instantly fell deeply in love with my boss right from my first day at work and for over a year, it got deeper. He was very rich, humble and single. I tried all i could to make him look my way but all was in vain. 3 months ago, i found a comment of Ilekhojie and how he helps people navigate feeling and how best to express it. I reached out to him and explain my situation and how much i loved my boss and i also asked him to see further if he likes me. He performed supplications on my behalf, created a pathway for us to express how we feel about each other and within a few days, my boss asked me out on a date and fast forward to today, we are happy in love and he has been the best thing that has happened to me. All these were made possible with help of Ilekhojie. If you are like me, you do not have to let your feelings die when Ilekhojie can help you.

I’m grateful for the positive change I experienced after working with Ilekhojie. My relationship with my ex had completely broken down, and every attempt to reconnect only made things worse. Through Ilekhojie’s guidance, I learned the importance of patience and self-reflection. Over a few days we began talking again, resolved old misunderstandings, and rebuilt the trust we had lost. Today, our relationship is healthier, more respectful and stronger than before. I’m thankful for the support I received throughout the process. While every situation is different and results is always guaranteed, my experience gave me hope and a second chance at rebuilding an important relationship. I sincerely appreciate Ilekhojie’s role in helping reconcile with my ex boyfriend. You can contact him through Whatsapp +2348147400259 or Email: gethelp05@gmail.com
