title: Perdita
author: Holland, Isabelle
description: She didn't know her name, where she had come from, or how old she was. She had been discovered nearly half dead at the bottom of a well and brought to a convent to recover. The doctor guessed she was about seventeen--and the nurse named her Perdita.
  
  Gradually Perdita regained her physical strength, but not her memory. She felt increasingly drawn to a nearby horse farm and took a job there, discovering to her surprise that she was an excellent horsewoman.
  
  As she prepared to ride in a local horse show, however, her menacing past began to unfold--in frightening and elusive ways.
