The Legend of Flying Horses

As far back as she can remember, seventeen-year-old Karena Bradshaw's family dubbed her Granny Annaleah 'the crazy horse lady.' Behind her back, they accused her of being a Nazi. This attitude has always darkened Karena's view of her grandmother. When the family gathers for Granny A's funeral and to prepare her belongings for an estate auction, Karena is annoyed when she is assigned to pack up the attic.

Expecting a spider-infested, cobweb and dust-covered room, she finds instead a pristine collection of trophies and ribbons her grandmother earned from showing her Arabian horses. Karena has always feared horses, but her grandmother's devotion to the animals intrigues her.

In a beautiful, old steamer trunk tucked away in a corner, Karena discovers picture albums and a hidden manuscript about Granny A's experiences in World War II, Poland. Instead of packing, Karena begins to read. She is drawn into the typed pages that come alive in her hands.

As she examines the manuscript, she becomes immersed in a story of legendary horses, young love, and loss in Nazi-occupied Europe. Karena learns the truth about her grandmother and the fate of Europe's finest horses stolen by the Nazis. She understands her grandmother's struggle to help the horses survive, outrun, outlast the ravages of war, and escape unimaginable evil. Changed word by word and chapter by chapter, Karena's negative feelings for her Granny A turn into empathy, love, and profound respect.
