Amelia's gift by Hilary Walker
This book starts out to Amelia and she's arriving on Sinclair Island for several weeks with her mother who is attending to her health needs and they will be staying at the aunt's house. She lives year round on the island. All are having lunch one day and she notices a man stepping off a boat and their eyes kind of look at each other before she has to look away. Little did she know he would be her instructor while she tries to get back on the horse again after all of her medical issues. Her mother does not like the man and finally explains to her that she thinks he is the man who put her in harm's way when he ran into her and caused her all this pain and agony. Throughout the years being paralyzed from the waist down has caused her heartache. She is not able to ride her horse any longer. What I really liked about this book was the compassion he shows And also she showed him how to do dressage moves and get better at horse competitions. They form a great bond with their horses. All the obstacles that she is able to overcome are a miracle. The program is explained: how things are done. I really appreciate the handicap angle.
There are many issues but there are solutions and options available. I love how the locals help her and him stay connected with each other when they're not together. She has second thoughts when another woman comes in and just the things she says really put her off. Never thought this book would turn out as it did. Many tears and a lot of pain along the way, what an awesome read about realistic things.
