Publisher's summary

In a snow-covered morning in upstate New York, a girl out riding her horse is hit by a 40-ton truck. Though horribly injured, both 13-year-old Grace and her horse Pilgrim survive. Annie, Grace's mother, refuses to have Pilgrim destroyed and hears about a man in Montana, a 'whisperer' who is said to have the gift of healing troubled horses. They set off across the continent to find him and there, under the massive Montana sky, all their lives are changed forever.

Incredible story

As a horseman, I appreciate the accuracy of the scenes with horses. As an avid reader I loved each turn of phrase and every carefully maneuvered plot twist. A masterful weaving of a love story with a stable as the stage.

A provocative story, well worth the time.

This is one of the most engaging listens I have heard on audible. It filled my senses for hours at a time with wonder. Sometimes predictable but no les enjoyable.

Wonderful writing! Horrible narration!

If you want to hear the story badly enough you can tolerate the narrator. I’ll be playing it again. The story is different from the movie. Don’t let anyone spoil it for you!

One of the best!

I love every minute of this book. Having read it so many times it was a real treat to listen to it over the last couple of days! A great big fuzzy feeling right smack dab in the middle of the heart!

Formulaic ending

The fact that Tom had to die to make the story work . It’s a lazy contrivance to pull the storyline to a conclusion. Not a fan
