Well Read
This novel was amazing; I absolutely loved it! It’s been a while since I read it, but I remember it being quite the journey. There were emotional ups and downs (there were tears) and you get an inside peak into the world of upper echelon show jumping. I absolutely devoured it and loved every minute! [Read more…]

Jena Brown Writes Book Reviewer
JenaBrownWrites.com, December 11, 2017
This book will transport you. I read it in less than a day, the pages simply flying by. Each character is written to be complex, contributing to the plot but also giving it the same richness that people in our lives gives us. We never live life alone, and decisions or their consequences are rarely made in a vacuum. Clermont captures those layers in these pages. I ended the book feeling as if I were there, cheering, holding my breath, laughing and crying with them. [Read full review...]
Midwest Ladies Who Lit Review
MwLadiesLhoLit.wordpress.com, December 9, 2017
This is such a beautiful, heartfelt, emotional story, meant for savoring. I loved that the bonds shared in this book, between both the people and the animals, were ones that I could feel. The connections were palpable. It’s not an easy read. It’s not a book for speed-reading to kill some time. It’s one to lose yourself in. [Read more...]

The Plaid Horse Magazine - September 2016 issue, September, 2016
