Ever since her dad served in the Vietnam War he has been depressed, he would be fine and then all the sudden he would be depressed like he was still in Vietnam. Shannon and her mom knew that his depression spells always blew over, but not this time.                                                                 Shannon and her family live on a horse ranch in the mountains, where her mom and dad train kids every summer for horse shows. This summer is different though. Shannon and her mom head to Tennessee for a big horse show, the first time they went without her dad. When Shannon and her mom get back they find out that her father was dead, in the study with a pool of blood on the shiny wooden floor.                                                                                      Shannon wakes to find herself in the hospital, because she passed out. Shannon has never felt so alone in her life. With her father gone and her mother sleeping until four every day, she feels she is facing his death on her own. This book is filled with romance and sadness. Will Shannon be able to get back on her horse or will she never ride again?
