Synopsis

Holt Medallion FinalistIn Early America, a beautiful young woman determined to enter a steeplechase and a handsome horse breeder may have a British enemy -- or two. Fall 1810 in Virginia was a wonderful time for a long carriage ride, or perhaps a race on horseback. The Commonwealth was still young, but thriving. Unfortunately there still were those who sympathized with the British. Martha Osborne's stepmother has again traveled to England, her very young son in an academy. Equestrian Phillip Paulson is sympathetic to Martha's desire to have her half-brother returned home. As Martha and Phillip's relationship blossoms, danger looms. Will the steeplechase end it all?
