One Eyed Jack

Teresa Cutler-Broyles

When 12-year old Lauren Miller buys a young Thoroughbred hunter/jumper on impulse to save him from being put down, she has no idea just what's in store for her and her first horse. Jack, a bright red sorrel, has lost his right eye in a tragic accident, and Lauren is determined to help him adjust and then enter him in the Trail class at the end-of-summer show. But the path is fraught with challenges. Will he ever overcome the loss of his eye? Will she ever be able to trust him? Will he jump again, even just the small fences required in the Trail class? Lauren and Jack's summer soon becomes one she will never forget as his fears put her life in danger, and as she continues to believe - despite the mounting evidence to the contrary - that he will get over the loss of his eye and be the horse of her dreams. That belief is put to the test when her best friend Christie is thrown from a horse and lies unmoving on a trail far from home. Lauren and Jack must go for help, and there's no time for hesitation. Will Jack rise to the task? Follow Lauren and Jack as they find out just how far trust will take them.
