This is a charming story of two young people facing challenging times and surviving--together. Mathew Trahern has survived the Civil War and is heading North looking for work and a new life. When his horse Hero (appropriately named) is stolen, Mathew  runs into a beautiful young woman who like Mathew has faced hard times. Dawn was captured by Indians and lived away from white people for eight years. When she is "re" captured, she doesn't fit in either culture. Mathew and Dawn are drawn together by their love for horses and their instinctual understanding that they belong together. In a time and place that is filled with hardship these two principled people overcome the challenges and fall in love. All because of the "Smartest  Horse in Texas." A short, sweet love story.
