BONE HORSES is the story of Charlotte. She is a teacher who comes to Santa Fe, New Mexico from New York for a conference for Private School Teachers. While she is there, she decides to take a ride out to Agua Dolce where her famous grandfather found dinosaur bones way back when. It is also the place where her mother's life ended.

Once in Agua Dolce, one man seems to think Charlotte is her mother, Alicia Rose. Apparently, he thinks she has come back from the dead. Just walked right out of the desert. She has a hard time with Farley who keeps calling her bad names, the same names he called her mother all those years ago. He wants to rid the world of the Apache Witch and has a plan for the next time he sees her. Does he follow through? Does he get to her? You will have to read BONE HORSES to find out.

Agua Dolce has a lot of legends about horses. The mustangs that were shot down, and then the wild horses and the war heroes; horses seem to be a lot more than just horses here. Charlotte is learning so much about the horses and what they mean to the town. Six mustangs, they say, stood in a line while they said last rites over six soldiers whose bodies were sent back to New Mexico after they were killed on Bataan is what Jed tells her. Jed is Barty's nephew. Barty fell in love with Alicia Rose. He was also the last one to see her alive. At first, he doesn't seem to trust Charlotte, but Jed sure does. Charlotte isn't sure he she feels about Jed. She likes him but why start something when she will be leaving soon?

There is just enough romance in BONE HORSES to make it a page turner. Lesley has a way of making you feel like you are right there in the middle of Agua Dolce minding everyone's business just like the locals. The description Lesley gives of the hills and mountains and the rest of the landscape, well, you can see it perfectly in your mind. All that Charlotte has known of her past will be changed by the time you finish reading BONE HORSES. I read this book in a few short sittings and I'm sure you will do that same! You have to know how it's going to end and what happens to Charlotte and the rest of the locals that you will come to know and treasure.
