Publisher's summary

Two courageous young women, tied together by blood and shared passion, will risk everything to save what they love most.

For as long as she can remember, Allie Massey, a gifted physical therapist, has dreamed of making her grandparents' ten-acre estate into a trauma recovery center using equine therapy—a dream her grandmother, Nana Dale, embraced wholeheartedly. But when her grandmother's will is read, Allie is shocked to learn the property has been sold to a developer.

Decades earlier, headstrong Dale Butler's driving passion is to bring home the prized filly her family lost to the Great Depression, but with World War II looming, she's called upon in ways she never could have imagined. And while her world expands to include new friends and new love, tragedy strikes close to home one fateful night during the Battle of the Atlantic, changing her life forever.

As Nana Dale's past comes to light in Allie's search for answers, Dale's courage and persistence may be just what Allie needs to carry on her grandmother's legacy and keep her own dreams alive.

LOVED this book!

I am so lucky to be the newest owner of Hickory Hills and after reading Elizabeth's book, it makes our purchase even more special!

The story is so well written and unique with wonderful twists and turns. It addresses an area of WWII volunteers I had no idea existed. As a WWII historical fiction fan, I really enjoyed learning about the Sand Pounders and what important roles they played in protecting our country from the Nazis.

Highly recommended book with multiple interesting subject matters woven into a wonderful love story!!

Excellent storyline

Elizabeth Messer does it again with a heart wrenching joy filled Christ centered story. Thank you for writing beautiful books.

Heart warming and real

Characters were well developed. Loved the historical story that came to life. I enjoyed it all the way through.

My most favorite of Elizabeth’s books!

I have listened and/or read almost all of Elizabeth’s books. This one absolutely captured my heart! My most favorite! And I live how Elizabeth has incorporated personal items and family experiences into this story. Being a Native Atlantan, I loved knowing so many places that these characters went to! Enjoy!

The secret city evolved

I truly enjoyed this story and realize that there were some history that was, in fact, true with the storyline, so I learned a lot, but mostly because I love horses, and I love how much all of the characters were described and created

I lovely story

I love reading about one generation looking back and learning about the previous. And incorporating horses being using to help others. Well that was just the cherry on top.

Great book!

This was a well written, well read audiobook! A feel-good mystery with lots of historical references to keep you thinking and wondering! Add a bit of romance and some horses- it is hard to stop listening! Well Done.

One of her best!

Gosh this books was astounding! She weaves her stories so well and even though I thought I knew what some of the secrets were, I was still so surprised so many times even at the very end! Well done Ms. Musser!! And the narration was very well done too! Highly recommend!

Surprise after surprise!

I had a hard time connecting with this book in the beginning with the story switching back and forth between the 1940’s and present day. My sister read a review that rated the book very high so I kept listening as I took my daily walk. The story is amazing! I loved it! The ending is full of surprises!

Wonderful, heartfelt mystery

Loved this book. Memorable characters- some you love and some you won’t!! I will remember the story for a long time.
