Princess Haya of Jordan, whose mother died when she was three, raises an orphaned Arabian foal named Bree. After much training, they ride for the Royal Stables in the Jordanian King's Cup. Details of Princess Haya's Bedouin ancestry and her challenges at boarding school in England enliven this sweet, heartening girl-and-horse tale based on the real-life Olympic equestrienne Princess Haya's accomplishments.
