Date: 06 2, 2012
Laura is pregnant and brimming with emotions. In love with Simon, a divorcing man whose wife likes to control him and Laura. Laura struggles to hold on. Simon is more interested in money and their interior design business than in her. In the course of her work day, she comes upon James, a horse-whispering sensitive widower, who's teaching her sister Maggie's out-of-control teen to ride. Laura and her sister are different. Maggie's problems are more to be expected. She supports her sister, but has a regular life and an easy husband, who's stronger than he looks.James is infinitely patient with people and horses. He's training Midnight Sky to trust so he can sell the horse. The reader cannot help falling in love with him. It takes longer for Laura to weigh her values. The questions are: can James let go of his beloved dead wife, and can Laura let go of her self-defeating behaviors?This is a believable book, filled with suspense, unexpected turns and rich description. It's a great story.
