About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - July Carter's world is perfect from the back of a horse. From the ground, everything is a complete mess: her jockey mom ran off for California years ago, her dad always seems more interested in the horses than in her, and the horse July wants for herself will never be hers. Even though the New York racing circuit has taught her not to get attached, July can't help connecting with Kali, a hopeless filly that refuses to run when it counts. When bankruptcy rumors start swirling around the barn, the future is murkier than ever. July can't stand losing one more thing, and Beck, the barn owner's son, knows more about the rumors than anyone else. July will get the truth, even if she has to pry it out of him, for Kali's sake and her own.

Synopsis

July Carter’s world is perfect from the back of a horse. From the ground, everything is a complete mess — her jockey mom ran off years ago and July’s certain she could come home at any moment. So certain she puts her life on pause, working with the racehorses after high school instead of preparing for college, like she’d planned. All to see a glimpse of her mother, maybe, one day.Although she’s taught herself not to get attached, July can’t help connecting with Kali, a hopeless filly that refuses to run when it counts. July is determined to save Kali from the claiming races, although with bankruptcy rumors swirling the future looks more uncertain than ever.July can’t stand losing one more thing, but when she finds herself facing what she wants the most she’s not sure what to do. Are you defined by what you have, or how you act? How can July have a future when all she can think about is the past?
