Book description
It's kids' week at the ranch, and Kirstie befriends Lacey, a loner with
a natural talent for riding. Besotted with her horse, a blue roan
gelding called Gunsmoke, Lacey breaks ranch rules and rides off trail
alone. When she fails to return, Kirstie fears the worst; either Lacey
has had a terrible accident, or she's run away - unaware that a heavy
storm is brewing... Born and brought up in Harrogate, Yorkshire, Jenny
Oldfield went on to study English at Birmingham University, where she
did research on the Bronte Novels and on Children's Literature. She then
worked as a teacher, before deciding to concentrate on writing. She
writes novels for both children and adults and, when she can escape from
her desk, likes to spend time outdoors. She loves the countryside and
enjoys walking, gardening, playing tennis, riding and travelling with
her two daughters, Kate and Eve.
