The Strength Of Oak

Unloved and unwanted by her parents, Rowena is desperate for a way out of the life she hates. When a horse chooses her as his Bond-Partner, she thinks she has found one - but she soon discovers that while she can leave her family behind, there is no escaping herself. 

With patient guidance from her horse, Rowena begins to accept the truth of her past, and to believe she can change. But then her past catches up with her at the worst possible moment, leaving her with a choice. She can be the person she was, or she can find the strength to be the person her horse has shown her she can be. One choice will give them both a future. The other will be the death of them...

The Strength Of Oak is a prequel to the popular The Horses Know Trilogy, and can be read before, alongside or after the trilogy and its other prequel, In Search Of Peace.
