4.5 starsJosh has a habit of taking in those he feels are fragile and in need of care. His horse is damaged and he doesn't know how to help him, but he knows he must try. His new neighbour keeps to herself, yet spends time with Josh's horse and he gentles her as she does his horse.This is the story of Josh, Beth and Fair. There are a number of wonderful secondary characters who add to the story and infuse further depth into the main characters.This was well written, heart wrenching and beautiful. I admit I had tears in my eyes a number of times, and I had tears streaming down my face at one stage. I read it from start to finish in one sitting because I didn't want to put it down and break the spell I was under.It wasn't perfect -- there were a few minor typos, and there were a few times where I felt things could have been elaborated further to give more insight into Beth's past and Josh's desire to fix things/people. All in all though, this was a wonderful book.
