YAOrca Soundings series.
After a workplace accident, Abby is partially paralyzed. At first, her anger and grief lead to self-destructive behavior, including drug use. A sustaining relationship with a therapy horse at the rehab center, however, opens her to new possibilities. Though it offers little depth, the story nonetheless provides an authentic, emotionally charged look at one young woman's healing.
