Teens

synopsis

Synopsis

A half-wild horse, a Celtic legend, and a teen trying to escape… Regina Hamilton has three months to prove to the courts she can earn a living on her own and avoid going home to her abusive mother—a tall order for a teen with only her riding skills to rely on. Desperate to prove herself, Regina lands a job at an exclusive dressage barn. But when workers start to mysteriously disappear, she becomes ensnared in a web of lies and deceit. With time running out and unsure who to trust, Regina turns to an unlikely trio: an unusual boy who trains hawks, a reclusive professor of Celtic history, and a half-wild red mare. Together they form a bond that will be tested when a long-held secret exposes a much greater threat—and Regina’s the target. To save her horses and her life Regina may have to trust her enemies and betray her friends.

Author Biography

Inspired by everyday miracles, L.R. Trovillion weaves magical stories of hurting people who find hope through horses in her Maryland Equestrian Novel series. Although she earned a degree in Russian and spent a career in government service, her real love has been caring for and working with horses. That love shines through in her series, focusing on the healing power of horses in the lives of teens facing complex and sometimes dangerous family situations. Believing there is more to this world than meets the eye, she adds a dash of the supernatural to each story. L. R. Trovillion lives on a small horse farm in Maryland with her husband, daughter, and several animals that really run the place. Her other works have appeared in Baltimore magazine, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and various poetry anthologies.

Christmas Comes Ready or Not

The last scene of Horse Gods is Christmas Day. Regina, the main character, finds herself in a place she'd never imagined she would be on Christmas. It might be that way for a lot of us this year. Things are likely to look quite a bit different. The thing is, like she says in this passage, Christmas is a state of mind. It is my wish that we all can keep a good state of mind through the holidays and the challenging winter ahead.

Book Excerpt

Horse Gods: The Dressage Rider’s Betrayal

Some famous person said something like, “Christmas is not a time or a season, but a state of mind.” I’m not sure who said it, but it’s true. I’d also add, Christmas is not a place. It can be wherever that state of mind takes you. This year the holiday has been really screwed up if you only judge it by the things like being home, opening gifts, stuffing your face, and being surrounded by relatives.

I have no home, we didn’t manage to get any real gifts, and my closest relative is in prison. Christmas day comes whether you’re ready or not.
