|WATTPAD FEATURED| Nineteen-year-old Stella must overcome her fear of horses, in order to save her reputation as a Grove Station Farms riding instructor.

***

Stella does not believe she will ever get back in the saddle, but that doesn't mean she still feels a connection with the farm where she teaches. To save her reputation and regain her confidence, she has get on the farm's newest steed, Monkey.

Monkey is like no other horse. He senses Stella's fear and does everything in his power to give her the love and joy she lost. Sometimes he acts out, yes, and sometimes he bites, but that does not mean he wants to hurt the birthday girl. The greatest gift he can give Stella is a lesson that will change everything she knows about horses.

Stella wants to win her battle, but she can't do it alone. What if she falls again? Curses become blessings, but that's only after enough work is put into the goal. With the help of her noble steed, 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.
