Riding Lessons by
Sara Gruen
 As a world class equestrian and
Olympic contender, Annemarie Zimmer lived for the thrill of flight
atop a strong, graceful animal, but then at eighteen, a tragic
accident destroyed her riding career along with Harry, the beautiful
horse she cherished. After her accident, she married Roger to avoid
ever being asked to ride again.
Now, twenty years later, Annemarie is coming home to her dying
father’s New Hampshire horse farm. Jobless and abandoned since one
terrible day only two weeks before she heard the news of her father,
she heads home with her troubled teenage daughter, Eva. She finds
the place holds many ghosts of her unresolved youth and painful
memories of her past.
While there, Annemarie also finds changes in both the place and in
her own life. She finds hope in the eyes of the handsome, gentle
veterinarian she loved as a girl, and then there is the seductive
allure of a French trainer with a magic touch.
Just when her world seems to be starting to come together, it has
the potential to come once again crashing down as she has a glimpse
of a white striped gelding similar to Harry, and an obsession is
born that not only threatens her new life but could shatter her
fragile world.
It is an emotion packed novel about a woman trying to rebuild her
life after everything is taken away, trying to deal with a difficult
teenager and once again finding passion in her life. Readers will
also note that Annemarie’s relationship with her mother mirrors that
with her daughter. She is also forced to confront the fact that she
is still mourning the death of her horse and it is time to move on.
