In a time of economic turmoil, a young girl fights for her stallion's freedom from his new cruel owner. In her desperate attempt to save her horse, they suddenly find themselves lost in the silent and undisturbed Sonoran Desert of Arizona that is merely a home for its creatures, both dead and alive. The girl and her beloved dark bay stallion, faced with horrific challenges as they try to find their way home, must fend for themselves in this merciless desert. With death waiting to capture them in its clutches, the girl and her horse wander aimlessly through this uncaring land with only love and undeniable loyalty to each other keeping them alive.

"A book for everyone. Had me hooked from the beginning to the end. Definitely had my emotions going throughout the entire story. I think it's something that everyone can relate to as it touches on parts of all of us. It's also a story about not giving up when you love someone (horses not excluded)."---R A Wylie, Amazon Customer
