title: A Breed Apart
author: Lord, Jeanne Day
description: Geri-Jo was born into the grinding poverty of Appalachian Kentucky - and from birth, tragedy beset her and her family. As one catastrophe after another shattered her youthful innocence, two lasting passions gave her strength and ambition. One was the stable of beautifel Kentucky champions - the breed horses that she loved so well. The other was Stephen Kimball, maverick vet from a wealthy New York family, who was determined to give Geri-Jo her chance.
  As she moved into the glamorous world of rich men and beautiful women, of opulence and power, the shaming secrets of her past threatened once more to rise and engulf her. But Geri-Jo, breeder of champions, had herself become a champion - a woman of courage and power, prepared to take on all comers in her fight for life and love.
