Following her mother's death, a thirteen-year-old has to adjust to life on a farm - and tame a wild young colt. It's 1910, and Harriet Gibson, orphaned by the death of her mother in a horse-and-buggy accident, is sent to live on a relative's hillside Vermont farm with her two-year-old colt. Grieving her loss, Harry now has to adjust to a new life and make new friends. And Aunt Sarah is a harsh taskmaster. Desperate to get away from her stern, domineering aunt, Harry decides to break in her untrained young Morgan so she can ride the seven miles to her new school. But an accident will force Harry to adapt once more as she makes surprising discoveries about her aunt... and a family secret comes to light. This is a stunning novel about love, loss, and blood ties - and about how even when the heart is shattered, the human spirit remains unbroken
