- Synopsis
- It was a perfect Virginia spring morning, sweet with the smell of new buds and warming earth ... I wished savagely that it was a gray, miserable day, but I had no more control over the weather than I did over what was happening to our farm and the horses. Thirteen-year-old Stephany Reed has grown up on Thunder Rock Farm, where for many years her family has bred and raised Thoroughbred racehorses. And in the last few months, since her father's death, she and her older sister, Camilla, have kept the farm going on their own. Caring for the broodmares and stallions and the newborn foals is hard work but satisfying, and the two girls even begin to hope that they will be able to pay off the debts that threaten Thunder Rock's future. Then, suddenly, disaster strikes, endangering the very lives of the horses they love... Jean Slaughter Doty's engrossing novel offers an insider's view of life on a Virginia horse farm as it tells the story of two girls' struggle to keep their family business alive.
