From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes an
uplifting and poignant novel about friendship, trust, and facing your
fears.
No longer tolerating her husband's borderline abuse, Faith escapes to
her parents' California beach house to plan her next move. She never
dreamed her new chapter would involve befriending Sarah, a
fourteen-year-old on the run from her father and reeling from her
mother's sudden and suspicious death.
While Sarah's grandmother scrambles to get custody, Faith is charged
with spiriting the girl away on a journey that will restore her hope:
Sarah implores Faith to take her to Falkner's Midnight Sun, the prized
black mare that her father sold out from under her. Sarah shares an
unbreakable bond with Midnight and can't bear to be apart from her.
Throughout the sweltering summer, as they follow Midnight from show to
show, Sarah comes to terms with what she witnessed on the terrible night
her mother died.
But the journey is far from over. Faith must learn the value of trusting
her instincts--and realize that the key to her future, and Sarah's, is
in her hands.
