Together they learn how to be free, learn how to ride together, and learn about an unbounded love. After a year Essie feels confident enough to show off her riding skills. Her parents finally accept the pair and it's all love until a terrible accident happens. Essie is drawn inward for years until a kind neighbor eventually solves the problem. This is a wonderful novella about the power of belief and kindness and emotions. It's for all ages.
