Emma Thorton is running! Running from a past so gruesome she can’t talk about it in order to be safe. Her secret must stay between her and son Buddy, as they flee from the place of her dreams, her beloved horse ranch in Bedford Pennsylvania, and take up new residence in Blue River, Colorado.
But secrets have a way of coming out, especially when neighbors like horse rancher, Jack McKenna, go snooping and find pictures of Emma Thorton astride a famous show horse.
Can Jake McKenna unfold the mystery, and discover what makes Emma Thorton so skittish around men and close lipped about her past? Can he teach her how to take steps to heal and find courage to trust again in spite of her scars?
But steps are not enough. Emma must learn to leap in order to discover love and fulfill her destiny. She must find the strength to begin believing again; to search the place in her heart and uncover what dreams are made of?
