Customer Reviews

Hooked from the beginning!

Brooks wrote a beautiful story around historical events. I learned a lot about horses and the relationship between a man and his horse...not to mention the history I learned. Now I know why/how the stopwatch was invented. Excellent writing that takes the reader between 3 different time periods. I couldn't wait to read the next chapter.

Heartwarming story

Lovely weaving of Civil War history, the bond between a race horse and his trainer, fine arts and art restoration and a paleontologist with a big heart. We travel seamlessly between the 1860’s to today to uncover a beautiful story.
