But when Christina's beloved horse, Star, falls gravely ill, Cindy unexpectedly joins her in the fight for his life. As they battle to save Star, Christina learns that some dreams are worth more than racing victories. Will their combined efforts be enough to save the horse they both love?

From the publisher

While visiting a track in New York, Christina Reese meets Cindy Blake, the well-known jockey and long-lost member of the Whitebrook family. Cindy has been plagued with shoulder problems throughout her racing career, and Christina is thrilled when her newly found relative aceepts an invitation to come to Whitebrook to rest and heal. But Cindy isn’t the mentor Christina hoped she’d be. Bitter about racing, Cindy offers Christina little encouragement or inspiration. Christina’s disappointment, however, is soon overshadowed when her beloved horse, Star, falls sick with a deadly virus. Yet to her surprise, she isn’t the only one willing to fight for Star’s life. Cindy is there, too, helping her nurse her beloved colt. Looking beyond her dreams, Christina wouldn’t mind if Star never raced again–she just wants him to live!
