Book 1: Everyday Horses
When Serafina’s parents decided to give up everything to raise their kids on a remote homestead on the rugged Canadian west coast, it was supposed to be forever. Life on the homestead might be hard but to Fina, it’s a paradise that she never wants to leave. She knows the mountains and rivers like the back of her hand, and every day she can spend exploring with her horse, Beatrice, is a great one. But, tragedy strikes and the whole family is forced to move to the sprawling, manicured estate of grandparents they’ve never met. And their Grandfather makes it no secret that he doesn’t want any of them there.
The only bright spot is that there are horses everywhere and Fina soon finds herself caught up with the wild, charismatic girls who own the fancy stable next door. But will following her new dreams mean giving up on Beatrice and the family she loves?
Book 2: Odd One Out
The most unlikely friendships are sometimes the strongest. Autism doesn’t stop Kira Anderson from being a top rider at Three Sisters Farm. Horses she understands; it’s people that don’t always make sense. Especially the secretive new groom who has just been hired.
Book 3: Casting Shadows
Sidney Jones is on her own. And desperately trying to make enough money to support her aging dressage horse, Oriel. She hadn’t ever thought she’d end up as a paid companion to a spoiled, rich girl with a chip on her shoulder but that’s what life threw at her.
