Description
In the winter of 1917, as the demands of World War I draw men away from the ranches of Oregon, young Martha Lessen finds work helping to gentle horses that others have deemed unmanageable. Her quiet skill and instinctive understanding transform both wounded animals and the people who come to depend on her. Set against a changing American West, this tender historical novel explores resilience, compassion, chosen family, and the bonds formed through patience and trust.
