Rating: 5 out of 5

The heroine, Cassie Roberts, was born in rural Texas and like most teens couldn't wait to escape to the big city.  She did so with a boyfriend and from there things went downhill.  When her father's health causes her to come back to Texas, she does so reluctantly.  She gets involved with her parents' horse ranch and a trainer they hire.  It is a rollercoaster ride ending at the Olympics in London.This book started out with a great story line and I enjoyed it.  Then about half way through, I was beyond hooked.  My family has horses and we have all ridden competitively in horse shows like the ones described in this novel.  Maybe I could relate to all of it so well.  We are also a Christian family and believe that things happen in God's time and not ours.  I can't remember when I have readed a book that made me laugh then cry (with sadness one minute and joy the next), or sit on the edge of my seat (like I used to do when my daughter competed in Reining, Western Pleasure and Cutting).  This book has a healthy dose of equestrian, romance and Christian values.  I highly recommend it.
