Flash of Freedom

Thanks to her parents’ jobs as house designers, Tara Chandller moved around way too much for her liking. It was so hard to find friends at every new place that Tara had quit trying. But Green River, Tennessee was different. She met two new girlfriends who had the shared interest of horses. Tara didn’t really want to be their friend. But when they introduced her to Freedom, a half wild, unhappy yearling, she decided to stay with them. With a little work Tara and Freedom create an amazing and unbreakable bond. For Tara, life was at its best. But then the unthinkable happened to Freedom, leaving Tara devastated. Tara would do anything to get things back to normal, but she had no idea how far that promise would take her...
