description: Horses, first love, and family ties are the components that bring the story of Katy O’Riley into reality. The trials and tribulations of Katy take the reader on a journey through the complicated emotions of teenage life and love. Set in rural Midwestern America, the values of the O’Riley family hover over the choices that must be made as Katy and her brothers, Coty and Kevin, make the transition from carefree children to adults in a modern world. The importance of true friendship is a bonding fiber that weaves its way permanently into their hearts despite the strains they unknowingly place on their relationship with their lifelong companions. Katy’s true love of horses and a young rodeo rider named Dakota lead her away from the safety of her home and family, but the unwavering love and trust of her grandmother brings her full circle...or is it too late?
