The journey of horse ownership is unlike any other. It can be rewarding, exciting, educational, and deeply heart-warming. It can also be frustrating, terrifying, disappointing, and heart-wrenching.
The Stories of Grace and Finnigan takes us on this roller coaster of a ride as Grace purchases a new horse, a nine-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding by the name of Finnigan. Finnigan is a horse owner’s dream. He is beautiful, talented, and highly trained, with a wonderful temperament. Grace is completely enamoured with him and living her dream, until things inexplicably start to fall apart. Finnigan’s personality suddenly changes, turning him into an unhappy, dangerous mount, and Grace must find a way to bring back the horse he used to be.
Told from both perspectives, Parallel Tales first takes us on the human journey, then on the journey of the horse. It gives a unique insight into the equine mind, allowing the reader to empathize with both horse and human as it becomes clear that perception is not always reality.
The Stories of Grace and Finnigan is the first book in the Parallel Tales series.
