Bøger af Nancy Clarke

"A delightful book in the line of National Velvet. A girl and a special horse. If you love horses, you will love this book." -Henry Muire "...a touching and well told story of human and equine relationships. The characters are well developed and the story moves smoothly. Be warned...you may shed a tear here and there! I look forward to the sequel."-Susan Kuroski " is an extraordinary book about horses, family relationships, friends, faith, trust, disappointment, and adventure. Once I started reading , I couldn't put it down until I finished. Toward the end, the focus transfers to the horse's view (similar to ), but returns to the characters at the end. This break of view reminds horse owners/riders that the horse remembers experiences (both good and bad) and that these experiences along with their genes determine their attitude. The book is an emotional roller-coaster. I look forward to Nancy Clarke's sequels." -K. Heiser "If you are young or old you will enjoy this tale of two horses...The characters are well defined (both human and equine). The reader keeps turning pages to enjoy the adventures and suspense. It tells of the fifth generation to breed racehorses and how its members are on a mission to restore the farm to its previous grandeur in Bluegrass Kentucky. This first book of a series hints at how that can happen."-Martha Selbert "A book that both young and old alike can read and enjoy. Looking forward to the second book in this upcoming trilogy!"-Karen B. Ashe Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/NancyClarke

Fourteen-year-old Ann Collins wants nothing more than to see her family rise back from poverty and regain its acclaimed position in the racing world. And when Lightning, a well-bred black colt, is born, she knows that her chance has come. Her grandfather bankrupted the formerly successful, fully staffed horse farm in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky, and now the Collins family, their trainer and his son are all that remain. Ann is a great rider, but it will take more than just skill for her to make her dreams a reality. Even if no one else really believes in Lightning, she knows that he will be the one to change it all. Little does she know that she and Lightning will be put to the test much sooner than expected! Author Nancy Clarke is a retired elementary school teacher who lives in central Virginia with her two horses, a multitude of champion show dogs, cats, chickens and a goat.
