There is a time to move on, a time to let go . . . and a time to fly.

"Sara Gruen writes with passionate precision about horses and their humans and the healing power of love."â??Maryanne Stahl, author of Forgive the Moon

Anxiety rules Annemarie Zimmer's daysâ??the fear that her relationship with the man she loves is growing stagnant; the fear that equestrian daughter Eva's dreams of Olympic glory will carry her far away from her mother . . . and into harm's way.

It is a time of change at Maple Brook Horse Farm, when loves must be confronted head-on and fears must be saddled and broken. But it is an unanticipated tragedy that will most drastically alter the fragile world of one remarkable familyâ??even as it flings open gates that have long confined them, enabling them all to finally ride headlong… (more)

A very enjoyable story especially if you love horses! ( )
  Stephensjillc | Nov 3, 2017 |
It helps to love horses to enjoy this book and I do. I enjoyed this novel quite a bit. At times I really felt for Annemarie , as a mother but most times I must say I did not agree with her parenting style. Her daughter Ava is a spoiled brat and Annemarie does not properly handle situations like when she has temper tantrums and speaks so disrespectfully to her mother. Then when she refuses to look after her horse or return to the competition to support her fellow riders and Annemarie drives her home, well, inexcusable. At other times I really have to laugh at her as things tend to happen to her in a clumsy, nerdy way.
I liket he way Sara Gruen writes. ( )

A positive story dealing with very serious subjects: family relationships, teenage angst, rocky romance, tragedy. All seems to come together perhaps too neatly, but after reading several books with dark, depressing themes I was ready for something lighter and that offered hope at the end.

Thank you, MyssCyn, I really enjoyed reading this! I would like to trade it for a copy of Riding Lessons, which I have not read. It is a paperback in almost new condition. It was new when I received it, but I'm afraid I bent the cover a little bit. It has a Bookcrossing ID number written on the front flyleaf, but no other markings. ( )

Ann Marie is still one of the most annoying characters I nave ever encountered in a book, but she did manage to experience a bit more personal growth in this sequel. ( )

Ever so slightly better than the first book. For when you want something to read to pass the time, but don't want to have to think to hard about it.
