|2X FEATURED · EDITED| Nineteen-year-old Stella must overcome her fear of horses to save her reputation as a Grove Station Farms riding instructor. *** Stella does not believe she will return to the saddle, but that doesn't mean she still feels connected with the farm where she teaches. To save her reputation and regain her confidence, she has to get on the farm's newest steed, Monkey. Monkey, a horse like none other, senses Stella's fear and does everything he can to help her regain her confidence, even though he occasionally acts out and bites. That does not mean he wants to hurt the birthday girl. The greatest gift he can give her is a lesson that changes everything she knows about riding. While Stella wishes to win her battle, she can't do it alone and fears she'll fall again. Curses will become blessings, but that's after she puts enough work into her goal. With Monkey's help, Stella needs to open the door to the life she once had, even if it means putting up with her sarcastic student, Maise, and learning that sometimes the best way to overcome fear is to fight fear itself. *** *Moral: The best way to overcome fear is to fight fear itself.* Word Count: 5,000-6,000
