With her chance at the US equestrian team shattered by an
injury, Sydney Wellesley arrives at the Lazy Windmill ranch angry and
heartbroken. But the rugged red bluffs and wild high plains of the
Black Hills inspire her to purchase land where she can train her own
Olympic hopefuls. Everything's going according to Sydney's new life
plan--until her funding suddenly dries up. . .
Alone in the ramshackle house she had planned to raze, Sydney is ready
to admit defeat and slink back to civilization--until she discovers an
injured mustang. Seeing herself in the desperate wild mare, she feels
compelled to save the animal at all costs, little knowing that the
horse just might return the favor. For as Sydney's circle grows to
include an autistic child, an earthy array of local characters, and
hired help in the form of Hunter Redhawk, a man as indomitable as the
land itself, she realizes that heroes are everywhere--and healing is
the first step on the road to true happiness.
REVIEW
You can't redo what you've done in life but you can rebuild. Thee character Sydney's goal is just that. With the loss of a dream due to an injury, Sydney doesn't give up. She goes for another dream. She almost gives up when one dream after another fails. Her salvation: a severely injured mustang. She saves herself by saving the mustang. This is the important message the author gives us. We need to think of things other than ourselves. Sydney has no emotional support like in the past. Providing her with what she hasn't had, the South Dakota community supports her. A supporter but very opposite from Sydney is Hunter Redhawk. He not only pushes her out of her spoiled damsel in distress mode. You can't help but like Sydney and Hunter Redhawk. Hunter Redhawk gave Sydney the shove she needed to go on and quit feeling sorry for herself. The author provided a very important message in this story. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and pick yourself up and go on. If that fails, pick yourself up and start over again. What better lesson could be given? Sometimes it takes a lot of starting over before you find what you're looking for. I would recommend this book to everyone. It has a realistic view to it and a strong lesson to be learned.
I RECEIVED A COMPLIMENTARY COPY OF HEARTH STONE by LOIS GREIMAN FROM NIGHT OWL REVIEWS FOR MY VIEW OF THE BOOK.
I WOULD GIVE THIS BOOK 4 STARS.
