“A Journey of Trust, Friendship, and Finding Home.”
Eleven-year-old Sofia Ruiz believes her dreams have come true when she’s reunited with her beloved horse, Sundance, but reality has its own plans. The bickering and bossy demands of her friends, Olivia and Ryan, leave her little time alone with Sundance, but how can she stand up to them? Being the new kid at Maplewood Middle School is hard enough without worrying about losing her only two friends.
After an accident shakes Sundance’s confidence, the once-perfect partnership between girl and horse unravels, leaving Sofia questioning her abilities and unsure of how to regain her horse’s trust.
Sofia’s world takes another unexpected turn when a mysterious letter arrives, unearthing secrets about the father who abandoned her as a young child. Fearful of her mom’s likely reaction, Sofia hides the letter and wrestles with how to respond. Does she want to discover more about her father and the family she never knew she had? Should she forgive him and welcome him back into her life?
Can Sofia summon the strength to repair broken trust with her horse and the courage to mend the fragile bonds holding her friendships and family together? Join Sofia as she discovers that from life’s challenges spring remarkable growth—of self, family, and friendship. This captivating ride will linger in your heart well beyond the final page.
