The Story

After a plane crash kills his entire family, sixteen-year-old Noah Taylor is sent to live with the Caldwells on an Oregon horse-and-orchard farm, where grief, horses, school, track, family chaos, and unexpected belonging force him to face the life he is still afraid to choose.

A grieving city boy. A chaotic horse farm. A family that won’t let him run forever.
