book in perfect condition
order filled VERY promptly
read in one sitting

wonderful to read the amazing - yes, fictional story, of an
unshakable faith - in the skills of a horse, and the lack of
vanity and self aggrandizement of a young woman
- no sex, no guns, no Facebook nor Twitter . . . . just a really great tale
