    About this audiobook

    Saddle up for a life-defining, death-defying adventure.

    Joseph Johnson has lost just about everyone he's ever loved. He lost his pa in an accident. He lost his ma and his little sister to sickness. And now, he's lost his pony--fast, fierce, beautiful Sarah, taken away by a man who had no right to take her.

    Joseph can sure enough get her back, though. The odds are stacked against him, but he isn't about to give up. He will face down deadly animals, dangerous men, and the fury of nature itself on his quest to be reunited with the only family he has left.

    Because Joseph Johnson may have lost just about everything; but he hasn't lost hope. And he hasn't lost the fire in his belly that says he's getting his Sarah back--no matter what.

    The critically acclaimed author of The Honest Truth returns with a poignant, hopeful, and action-packed story about hearts that won't be tamed...and spirits that refuse to be broken.

    • 5/5
      I love this book on moral and physical courage, kindness, humaneness, doing the right thing and being true to your heart.
    • 5/5
      Friendship. Courage. Perseverance. Joseph's story is exciting, gut wrenching, and ultimately a story about holding on to family (even if that family consists of one Indian paint) and about finding home.
