Reese's dream of winning the Black Elk race is shattered when her beloved horse, Trusted Treasure, falls at the last jump and the vet suggests they put him down. Her family suffers a second tragedy when their family business, the sale of Trusted Treasure, and Reese's relationship with her father are irreparably damaged. Heartbroken and still longing to find Trusted Treasure, Reese meets Wes, a selective mute who trains horses in an unconventional way. If anyone can win the Black Elk, it's Wes, but he's struggling with his troubled past and having a teenage girl hanging around his barn isn't exactly what he planned. Through heartaches and triumphs, Reese must prove her worth if she wants to heal her family, help Wes, and show them all that some dreams are worth fighting for. This spellbinding tale in which every teenager has magical powers within them just waiting to be discovered will have you laughing and crying - sometimes on the same page - all the while rooting for Reese, the most unlikely of heroes.
