Wonderful, wonderful book

I just read Touched by Fire, and had to write to tell everyone what a wonderful book it was. Even though I'm not "into" horses, I thought the story--actually two stories, since the author weaves a story from the past into the present--was so good I didn't want to stop reading even to make dinner! I HAD to find out what happened to Marguerite in the past, and Briar in the present, and how the author was going to tie together all the threads of both stories. And she did, in the most satisfying way possible. My only disappointment was that the book ended. I wanted to keep on reading and reading. I heartily recommend this book and I'm going to look for other books by this same author. She has a great writing style, and you feel you know the characters personally. Buy this book--you'll love it!

Wonderful horse-racing book!

I just read Touched by Fire and couldn't put it down! I've owned horses for many years, and the author knows horses, their personalities and quirks and is outstanding at depicting them. But even better is the way she develops the stories and the characters--both past and present. I felt I knew every one, and the way she wove the story of the past into the story of the present and then tied up all the loose ends of this complicated circle was amazing. The race at the end had ME racing through the pages until I finished--and then I was sorry I'd read so fast because I didn't want it to end. If you want a GREAT book to read, get Touched by Fire. Even if you don't like horses (and I can't imagine anyone who doesn't!), you'll love this book. I can't wait to read more by this author!
