Experiencing personal tragedy after a horrible accident, 13-year-old Ali finds helping two neglected horses to be therapeutic for both her and her brother, who has returned from Iraq an amputee with post- traumatic stress disorder. Author’s Notes.

It was okay. It ended before the horses were fully recovered. I wanted a more detailed description of their recovery. Very short, quick read. Good for a reluctant reader.

I really enjoyed reading this book.

It was a fast read, but is appropriate for young readers.
In this story Ali, a 13 year old girl, is instrumental in rescuing 2 abused horses and is put in charge of their care.
As a side story, her brother returned from war with PTSD but unwilling to admit it.

I found this book to be very sensitive in addressing these issues, the characters were well developed and the book kept me engaged to the end.
