Publisher Description

Untamable. Damaged. Angry. Once full of promise and life, now lost in the shadows of resentment and detachment, this is Dream of Night's story—and it is also Shiloh’s. One is a thoroughbred racehorse, the other an eleven-year-old foster child. Starved to the bone, Dream of Night is still a very powerful animal, kicking, bucking, screaming to show his strength. Shiloh has been starved in other ways—starved of affection, starved of stability and she lashes out too…with sarcasm. This injured and abused racehorse has a lot in common with punky Shiloh and by chance they both find themselves under the care of Jessalyn DiLima—a last stop for each before the state takes more drastic measures—sending the girl to a “residential facility” and the horse to a vet...for euthanizing.

Jess is giving them a second chance, a last chance—but she fosters animals and children like this for a reason—she’s a little broken, too. And she knows what it’s like to have lost nearly everything she loves. As the horse warms up to the girl and the girl lets her guard down for the horse, the three of them become an unlikely family. They recognize their similarities in order to heal their pasts, but not before one last tragedy threatens to take it all away.

Dream of Night

This book is amazing you all need to read it it really spoke to my heart. I have horses my self and I'm only 13 years old, before I got my horses I worked at a ranch where there is retired racehorses and abused children and kids who don't know Jesus would come ride horses and got taught the responsibility. I loved seeing the kids smiles and hears their joyful laughs it was a wonderful experience for them! I still volunteer their a lot it's just a given gift from god to see those kids who have lived a hard life to see them simple and enjoy them selves again.
