Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A girl who longs for her own horse is given the chance to care for a troubled, damaged horse, who needs her as much as she needs him. Fourteen-year-old Jane Ryan has always dreamed of having a horse of her own—but so long as she gets to ride her favorite school horse, Beau, at Sunny Acres farm, she's content. And this is the summer she means to try out for the advanced riding class. But just as camp begins, Jane receives heartbreaking news about Beau. She loses, not just her favorite horse, but also her chance to ride in the end-of-summer competition. When her trainer asks for her help with an out-of-control chestnut warmblood, Lancelot, a newcomer to the barn, she has no choice but to say yes. There's another new addition to the farm: Ben Reyes, the grandson of the barn's manager. As Jane struggles to go on without Beau, and to make Lancelot the great horse she believes him to be, her feelings for Ben, her relationships with the privileged group of girls she rides with, and her painful, joyous road to self-discovery all lead to a heart-pounding conclusion that is truly a new beginning. Only Jane's faith in Lancelot, and her own rediscovered skill and strength, can see her through the hard journey toward a horse of her own.

Book excerpt: After leaving home at a young age and defying her parents to marry the dashing Garrett Maupin, Martha Maupin's future became bound up with some of the most extraordinary events in antebellum American history, eventually leading to her journey to a new life on the Oregon Trail. After Garrett Maupin died in 1866, leaving her alone on the frontier with their many children, Martha Maupin was torn between grief and relief after a difficult marriage.

It wasnt right that he should be feeling this way. Monique looked up when he reached their table. Was it his imagination, or did her eyes light up when she saw him? Monique and Janine greeted him smilingly. Have a chair, Father, said Janine, indicating one of the extra chairs. Ill go and get us all some coffee. What do you take in yours, Father? Just milk, please, Janine. Suddenly Father felt self-conscious, sitting alone with Monique. Then he chided himself that there was a whole room full of people there. Monique also seemed to be at a loss for words. They both looked up at the same time, and their glances locked. I didnt see your car in the parking lot, Monique, Father said, then could have kicked himself. Monique looked startled. You looked for my car, Father? she asked, softly, as she searched his face, not missing the pinkish tinge his words had evoked. Well, yours and everyone elses. I like to guess whos here, before I come in. I see, said Monique, nodding slowly as she smiled knowingly. Father, meet me for coffee tomorrow night, she suggested, rambunctiously. Monique, you know I cant do that, he replied with consternation.. Oh Father, for crying out loud, its only for a coffee. Youre not going to run off with me. Anyway, those are your stupid church rules, not mine. Father Diemert let out a deep sigh, just as Janine approached with the three coffees. Ill be at Rudys at 7:00 oclock. If youre not there, Ill understand, Fatherrather, Matthew, declared Monique, decisively. I hope you two are not arguing about religion again, said Janine, arriving at the table. How did you guess? said Monique, laughing to lighten the moment. Janine just rolled her eyes.
