Title: Dream of Night
Author: Heather Henson
Summary: Jessalyn DiLima lives on a horse farm and fosters abused horses and children in foster care situations. She takes in a horse, Dream of Night or Night for short, and an 11-year old girl, Shiloh. Both were abused and in horrible situations before coming to Jessalyn and neither is ready to open up. Shiloh and Night are both angry and want to run away and get out, but overtime, they find out that they may be able to help each other heal and in the process help Jessalyn get the family she wishes she had.
Comments: I liked this book a lot! Shiloh was just so angry and upset, yet she was pretty likeable too. Night was a former racehorse and it was so sad to listen to his flashbacks of being abused by multiple owners after an injury causing the loss of his racehorse status. Jess has a tragic past, and it was interesting watching all of them go through events and heal together. The book had each chapter with the 3 of them giving their perspective on a particular event going on in the book. The book is good, and just because of Shiloh's previous situation and the horse abuse, this book would probably be okay for a mature 8+ but I'd give it the conservative rating of 9/10+.
Complaints: None!
Rating: 5 stars
