- Synopsis
- Sonora Carver, when she was 16 never dreamed that she would be in show business doing an act that was amazing and exciting. But when she ran into Dr. Carver, and saw the Diving Horses act, she fell in love. Sonora had a great life traveling the country, riding and doing shows, and loving the horses she worked with. Klataw, John the Baptist, Juda, Red Lips, Snow, and Lightning, all were her family and her friends. Then one day Red Lips did a very dramatic nose dive and Sonora hit the water with her eyes open and face first. Her life changed after that day and this is her story. This book was the inspiration for the movie "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken".

This book is so good. I saw the movie when I was young, and wanted to do more research into the story so after I lot of searching I finally found this book. I couldn't put it down. Sonora's style of writing is so warm and personal, it draws you right in. I felt truly inspired after having read this book.
