Synopsis

A man and a woman wage the fight of
their lives for a second chance at love

Nora Mahler leads a perfect life. With her two teenage children, Simon and Clea, and her husband, she thrives on running the family horse ranch on the banks of the Missouri until Simon is killed in a riding accident. Nora's husband Neal sends the horses away, and when Nora refuses his orders to sell the farm, he moves to Chicago, taking Clea with him. Soon after, Ozzie Kline, a horse wrangler who has longed for Nora since they were teenage lovers, helps Nora and her mother rebuild their farm. Alongside Ozzie, Nora finds a happiness she never knew with her husband and wonders, "What if we had the opportunity to love each other again?"--until Neal returns to claim what he considers his.

About this title

From the Author

A book about women finding their powers
Reviewers are comparing my book to THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY and HORSE WHISPERER, and in terms of a love story being central to the plot, they have a point. But NIGHT RIDE HOME seems about so much more besides -- the death of a child, the different ways to deal with grief, a marriage falling apart, the differences between men who control and those who love, and most of all, how women learn how strong they are and what they can accomplish when they're brave enough to try. I would love to hear reader comments.
