Jan Hardy is 33, widowed and short of money, but determined to make a success of her life for her children's sake. She has managed against the odds to acquire a Jockey Club licence to train horses, and in the face of fierce competition from the traditional male, upper-class bastions of racing, she sets out to carve a career for herself.

Within the year, she has discovered who was offering her friendship and who wasn't.

Explaining how hard it was to raise a family and enter the horse training profession especially as she was female.Aquiring her racing licence was a major acheivement. A book you just do not want to put down.In short: a very good read, especially if you like horses or horse racing. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.
