A John Scognamiglio Book Read Kindle PreviewBorn into tragedy but gifted with a powerful connection to the natural world, a resilient young woman comes of age amid the wild beauty of early-1800s Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas in this incandescent, hauntingly moving epic about home, horses, human connection, and the transcendent awe of nature for readers ofΒ Go As a RiverΒ andΒ The Giver of Stars. Alabama, 1813: In the midst of the battle and massacre at Fort Mims, a baby is born. Itβs a portentous beginning for Emilie McCain, who has inherited the Sightβvisions that come in dreams guided by an owl. Owl is Emilieβs steadfast companion, a welcome balance to her motherβs neglect. Along with the Sight, Emilie possesses an innate talent for communicating with horses. In an era when a woman legally belongs to her husband, such gifts may be the only things that are hers to keep. The family makes a perilous move to Arkansas Territory, where Emilie becomes a master horse trainer and leatherworker. For all her skill with horses, Emilie sometimes fails to see the dark truth about the people she encounters. Other dangers, even when predicted, may be impossible to defend againstβyellow fever, greed, vengeance, and the unforgiving land itself. Through love, marriage, heartache, and hardship, Emilie gains strength and resilience. After years of avoiding emotional entanglements, she meets a man who presents her with a horse to be trained and an offer of friendship she could sorely use. But with his arrival come other tests of her will and her judgement. Finally, a shocking revelation inspires an act beyond her imaginingβand may set her free to find the place she truly belongs . . .
