| Publisher Description: Untamable. Damaged. Angry. Once full of promise and life, now a fiery knot of resentment and detachment. This is the story of Dream of Night, an injured and abused racehorse. It's also the story of Shiloh, a sarcastic eleven-year-old foster child. By chance, Dream of Night and Shiloh both find themselves under the care of Jessalyn DiLima. Just in time--it's a last chance for them both. Jess fosters animals and kids like Dream of Night and Shiloh for a reason--she's a little broken, too. And as the three of them become an unlikely family, they recognize their similarities in order to heal their pasts--but not before one last tragedy threatens to take everything away. |
