"Melinda Field, a life-long equestrian, gives us a unique experience with True.
This endearing story exudes the essence of Horse. We meet the Hidden Horse Sisterhood
and become aware of a subtle momentum of 'horse time' and the wisdom of nature
as balancers right along with the characters.
Heartwarming, gripping, sensual, and surprising – True is a great read!"
