Bookroo's summary

Dream of Night, a battered racehorse, and Shiloh, a defiant foster child, are both on the brink of losing everything. Under Jessalyn's care, they form an unexpected bond, each offering the other a glimmer of hope. As they confront their pasts, a looming tragedy threatens to shatter their fragile new family. Can they overcome their scars and find healing together?

From the publisher

Untamable. Damaged. Angry. Once full of promise and life, now a fiery knot of resentment and detachment. This is the story of Dream of Night, an injured and abused racehorse. It’s also the story of Shiloh, a sarcastic eleven-year-old foster child. By chance, Dream of Night and Shiloh both find themselves under the care of Jessalyn DiLima. Just in time—it’s a last chance for them both. Jess fosters animals and kids like Dream of Night and Shiloh for a reason—she’s a little broken, too. And as 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 everything away.
