Sofia and Sundance

Being reunited with Sundance should feel like a happy ending. Instead, it tests trust in ways Sofia never expected.

When an accident shakes Sundance's confidence, Sofia is forced to confront what trust really means. Rebuilding it with her horse takes patience, humility, and courage—but trust proves fragile elsewhere, too. Friendships grow complicated, standing up for herself feels risky, and at home, unspoken fears and half-truths leave Sofia wondering how much honesty is safe.

Sofia's world shifts again when a letter tied to her estranged father arrives, raising questions she's never dared to ask. Afraid of what the truth might cost, Sofia keeps the letter to herself, torn between protecting the life she's worked so hard to build and uncovering a past that still has the power to hurt her.

As trust is tested with her horse, her friends, and her family, Sofia must decide who is worthy of her trust—and who she can become when she trusts herself.

Sofia and Sundance is a heartfelt middle-grade novel about trust, boundaries, and the courage it takes to grow into yourself.
