"Stunning historical fiction."--People
"Epic . . . a family saga in the finest tradition."--Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Good Dirt
A sprawling landscape of sand, red clay, and pine trees, South Carolina's Fairfield County is the only place the Bolton family has ever called home. For more than a century, they have cultivated this land, expertly raising horses to compete in derbies and rodeos and passing their knowledge from generation to generation.
But after a devastating tragedy, Dwayne, the next inheritor of the Bolton legacy, buries his family history--particularly from his daughter. Unlike her father, Nikki is a proud, burgeoning horsewoman with no knowledge of her family's connection to the part of her life she's most passionate about. But when a series of events threatens to sever father and daughter from the only land they've ever known, Dwayne is forced to confront his past so that Nikki can step into her future.
