The Line Tender meets The Secret Horses of Briar Hill in this hopeful, heartfelt story about one girl's search for legendary horses and her quest to piece her family back together.
Twelve-year-old Claire Barton doesn't like the "flutter feeling" that fills her chest when she worries about the future, but she knows what she loves: the land that's been in her family for three generations; her best friend Maya; her family's horses, Sunny and Sam; and her older brother Andy. That's why, with Andy recently sent to rehab and her parents planning to sell the horses, Claire's world feels like it might flutter to pieces.
When Claire learns about equine therapy, she imagines a less lonely future that keeps her family together, brother and horses included. But, when she finds what seem to be mysterious wild horses in the woods behind her house, she realizes she has a bitmore company than she bargained for. With this new secret—and a little bit of luck—Claire will discover the beauty of change, the power of family, and the strength within herself.

Hardback. [Author], [Publisher]. Author: Sarah R. Baughman Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 336 Twelve-year-old Claire Barton doesn't like the "flutter feeling" that fills her chest when she talks to new people or worries about the future, but she knows what she loves: the land that's been in her family for three generations; her best friend Maya; her family's draft horses, Sunny and Sam; and her older brother Andy. That's why, with Andy recently sent to rehab after a DUI, and her parents planning to sell the horses, Claire's world feels like it might flutter to pieces. A possible solution presents itself at school when Claire's teacher assigns the class a presentation: each student must research an historical concept that holds continued relevance. Motivated to overcome her dislike of public speaking, Claire decides to research how horses were used for in the past and how they can still be useful today. When she learns about equine therapy from a helpful neighbor, she begins to dream that starting her own equine therapy business will be enough to allow her parents to keep Sunny and Sam. But in the woods stretching for miles behind her house, Claire senses signs that she's not alone in the quiet stillness, and that a mysterious herd of wild horses might live among the trees, too. With the help of her best friend, her weekly support group meetings, and her family, Claire learns that it's not her job to save anyone else, and that sometimes, instead of running after something you wish were there, it's better to grab on to what actually is.
