Bookroo's summary

Melanie Graham is captivated by Perfect Image, a spirited filly with a wild streak. Despite the horse's unruly nature and her trainer's doubts, Melanie believes Image is meant for racing glory. As she battles to prove Image's potential, Melanie faces the challenge of taming the untamable. Can she transform this spoiled filly into a champion, or will Image's destiny be confined to the breeding stables? Melanie's determination and love for the horse drive her to defy expectations and pursue a dream that seems impossible. Will her passion be enough to change Image's fate?

From the publisher

Melanie has her hands full… Melanie Graham can’t help herself–she’s fallen in love with the high-spirited black filly, Perfect Image. More than anything, Melanie wants to help train the filly and be the first one to race her. Despite her name, Image is anything but perfect. The filly has been spoiled by her own doting owner since birth, and is impossible to handle. In fact, her trainer wants to give up and turn Image into a broodmare, hoping her foals will have better sense than she does. But Melanie is sure that Image was born to win. Will Melanie fight for the horse she loves?
