When a troubled girl steals a horse, her foster moms are thrown
together with their reluctant neighbor in this award-winning novel
from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde. From
the bestselling author of Pay It Forward comes a story of the
heartbreak and healing power of family. New to a small town, Jackie
and Paula envision a quiet life for their kids: a young adopted son
and two teenage foster children, including the troubled Star.
However, they quickly butt heads with their neighbor, Clementine,
who disapproves of their lifestyle and is incensed when Star
befriends her spirited horse, Comet. Haunted by past tragedy and
unable to properly care for Comet, Clem nevertheless resents the
bond Star soon shares with the horse. When Star disappears with
Comet, the neighbors are thrown together-far too close together.
But as the search for the pair wears on, both families must learn
to put aside their animosity and confront the choices they've made
and the scars they carry. Plumbing the depths of regret and
forgiveness, The Language of Hoofbeats explores the strange alchemy
that transforms a group of people into a family.
