Book summary
A new year has come to North Oak, and with it a new life for Alexandra
Anderson. Will she be able to open her heart to others when its still
battling demons from her past? Or will she go so deep into herself where
no one can touch her, and risk losing Promenade in the Keeneland
Yearling Sale?
Nayu's thoughts
Alex's new life has just begun
after book 1's drama. It felt like she was catching up in all areas
to a level of her peers. It goes to show how awful her life
was in events prior to book 1 that she struggles with so many normal
activities and events, some which are related to puberty, others to
being educated and knowing how to interact with people.
She learns loads through her mistakes, the good moments had me beaming
away (as she takes tiny steps towards being a friend with a new
character, discovering smores) as they provide her with good
memories, which are too few compared with the bad ones. I love the
strong sense of family her guardians show Alex, especially when she
isn't interested in opening up. There's plenty of horse action which
as a non rider was fun to read as I understood some of it, although
like Alex there's a scene I'm glad didn't have a video, though no
doubt there's several on Youtube! I love seeing Alex's broken self
start to mend just a little bit, a process I hope continues in
further books.
