(4) YA After walking out of the SAT, troubled sixteen-year-old Merritt is sent to a residential equine-therapy program. Her gentle attention subdues Red, an untamable racehorse, and they rise through the ranks of competitive jumping. Chapters alternate between girl and horse; Red's voice feels more like an intense boyfriend's than an animal's, which is bizarre but matches the story's darkly dramatic twists and turns.
