I loved this book. It started out a tiny bit slowly, but I didn't have to stick with it too long at all before I got sucked in. This is a book that takes place on the "home front" of World War I, in rural Oregon. The main character is a female horse wrangler. She helps people domesticate wild horses. I would consider it somewhat of a coming-of-age tale for her, and a great historical fiction read in general.
