…but you can’t make him drink. Whoever coined that saying sure knew a thing or two about horses because it is TRUE!
Avery Markham, the female main character in SUNRISE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN made some close friends when she moved from Iowa to a tiny town in northern Vermont. There’s a nearby lesson barn, and several women take regular riding lessons until the business is sold to someone no one can stand. One by one, they leave and buy horses of their own.
They encourage Avery to get a horse and join them for weekends spent horse camping and trail riding throughout New England. But she’s having none of that! She doesn’t know anything about horses and, besides, she’s terrified of them.
Avery lives in a beautifully renovated farmhouse, and guess what’s right outside her back door. Yep, you guessed it—a cute little barn.
She doesn’t have a horse by the end of the book but, wait, there’s a sequel, HEART SO TRUE, the current work-in-progress. Avery’s standing at the trough, staring at the water…will she drink?
