This is a story about leaving home to chase a dream that was so deep in my bones I couldn’t quit, even when it nearly killed me.

It’s about the horse who held my heart suddenly disappearing.

It’s about love finding me when I least expected it.

And it’s about learning to trust a God who gives and takes away.

I pray that it blesses everyone who listens to it ~Sarah

If you were captivated by the classic racing novel Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand or the movie Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken, then you'll love Finding Gideon.

Synopsis:

A horse, a dog, and a longtime dream coming together—what more could a girl want?

Since the day I read my first Thoroughbred series book in fifth grade, I imagined crouching over the withers of a racehorse, feeling its muscles bunch together and release with each stride. But I wanted more than an image in my mind—I wanted it in real life.

It was my junior year of college when I left home to chase that dream, and for a minute I had it between my fingers. Gideon rode in the horse trailer and Sandi was curled into a ball in the backseat when I moved to Louisville. Within two weeks I was pounding down the track on young Thoroughbreds, impressing trainers with my bravery and skill. But soon, piece by piece, it began to crumble. Holding onto the dream, and my faith, was like grabbing water by the fistful and watching it slip between my fingers.

How could I keep going in this land of strangers and broken dreams? How could I trust the God who gives when He’s also the God who takes away? But how could I quit when the dream still stirred in my bones and Gideon was out there somewhere?

inspiring book

A nice encouraging story narrated by the author herself on discovering her path with horses through the hurdles. Her narration helps you to feel the experience better than other audiobooks I've experienced. Great God inspired story for those who like faith based stuff.

A must read for any horse crazy dreamer

A must read for any horse crazy dreamer! A book about faith, love, hope and following your dreams. Heartfelt, entertaining and funny all in one.

If you love God and horses this book is a must!

This book will make you laugh & cry then wonder did this really happen to this poor girl! I think back to the author who I spoke with at Equine Affair and thought that little lady is a beast! I will never whine and moan when I get bucked off again!

I laughed, I cried and now I’m a fan

I loved this story. From the very beginning, this book grabbed my attention and I could not stop listening. It’s narrated by the author and this adds so much depth and emotion to the storyline. Everything that happens in this story is NUTS and the author tells it in such a compelling and beautiful way, while grappling with difficult spiritual truths that we will all face at some point in life. Highly recommend.

Horse Crazy Girls

If you are like me and were that horse crazy girl who has moved into adulthood and still live and breath horses, this book is for you.
