Eleven-year-old Halle can’t shake off the memory of what happened to the racehorse Carver D’esprit in a tragic accident at the racetrack. No matter how hard she tries, it’s all she can see when she closes her eyes at night. Determined to find out more about the horse she can’t stop thinking about, Halle learns that Carver came from the nearby Oak Creek Stables, where she meets Carver’s owner, and his best friend, a pony named Rocky. But both Halle and Rocky are lonely and grieving—Rocky misses Carver and Halle is missing her friends from last year, who don’t seem to want to hang out with her anymore, and her older sister, Brenna, who seems to think she is too old to spend time with Halle now that she’s in high school. As Halle spends more time at the stables, she and Rocky find ways to help each other open up to hope and new relationships. When Halle learns that the stables are on the verge of being sold to a housing developer, she realizes everything she’s gained is at risk of slipping away from her. Without the stables, what will happen to Rocky, the people that Halle has befriended there, and to the memory of Carver D’esprit? This heartfelt story of loss and light follows Halle as she experiences the interconnectedness of endings and beginnings, and learns that love still multiplies, even during grief.
