Book excerpt: Melody Lynn Hanson loved every aspect of her life, and at sixteen, she thought she was at the top of her game. She spent countless hours in some capacity or another doing the one thing that brought her the most joy; training, riding, and competing with her horse, Romeo. That is, until she made one careless mistake which permanently altered her life's passion. After the accident, Melody felt she was incapable of moving on. She withdrew from everyone and everything, so when a new horse was introduced to their farm, she was less than thrilled that she had to be the one taking care of it. Little did she know; the new horse was carrying enough baggage of his own. Melody's story will take you on a journey through the challenges she is forced to face and the triumphs she inevitably experiences; but first, she must learn to forgive herself so she can love again.
