In the rolling hills of Tennessee, there is a place called Found Hope where many abandoned and abused horses recover and can possibly find a place to call home. You can often find other animals living in the area as well.
William Smith had been running it since he started it many years. Every year his son and granddaughter Henry and Janet spend the summer to hang out with him.
Maybe he can make it a family tradition to keep his place going, if they find it as peaceful as he does. They were arriving soon so who knows what will happen.

Meditullio
Meditullio means Heartland. I Love Fiction but also love Fantasy so as I've run out of Ideas for now I decided to write a Fiction/Fantasy Amy & Ty Story. I hope you enjoy it. Amy's world changes when she finds herself in another world and when she eventually tells Jack and Lyndy what she found she also finds out that her GrandParents, Jack and Lyndy aren't who she thought they were, even her sister Lou and worst of all who her father is. Evil isn't the word she would use, he was worse than that. Amy comes to realise that who she is, is more exciting than she ever dreamed possible, and her GrandParents actually built Heartland over a hundred years ago. She meets a handsome stranger from another Realm named Ty. Amy embraces her new life and skills with horses and learns quickly that not everyone can be trusted.Complete

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?
