Overview:

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pay It Forward comes an uplifting and poignant novel about friendship, trust, and facing your fears.

No longer tolerating her husband’s borderline abuse, Faith escapes to her parents’ California beach house to plan her next move. She never dreamed her new chapter would involve befriending Sarah, a fourteen-year-old on the run from her father and reeling from her mother’s sudden and suspicious death.

While Sarah’s grandmother scrambles to get custody, Faith is charged with spiriting the girl away on a journey that will restore her hope: Sarah implores Faith to take her to Falkner’s Midnight Sun, the prized black mare that her father sold out from under her. Sarah shares an unbreakable bond with Midnight and can’t bear to be apart from her. Throughout the sweltering summer, as they follow Midnight from show to show, Sarah comes to terms with what she witnessed on the terrible night her mother died.

But the journey is far from over. Faith must learn the value of trusting her instincts - and realize that the key to her future, and Sarah’s, is in her hands.

My Audible Review:

Just After Midnight
Catherine Ryan Hyde

 

Just After Midnight is a heartfelt heartrending story about starting over and learning to trust in yourself. It’s also about love and loss and that family’s of the heart are sometimes better than blood relations. Set in Summer all over Southern California from the beach to swanky horse ranches the audience will get a crash course in the spectacle of Dressage as the author unfolds in her own time the story of the death of Sarah’s mother and of Faith’s marriage. The scenery is fabulous and with Catherine’s descriptive narrative that takes in the big picture and stops to smell the roses too the audience will find it hard to put this down. Both Sarah and Faith are the standouts and even though they’re relative newly acquainted the author makes their strong bond believable. Fans of Kristin Hannah Barbara Delinsky and great women’s fiction will find themselves in love with this novel.

Escaping an abusive marriage Faith takes refuge at her dad and stepmother’s beach cottage where she hopes to plan a new start. Little did she know that the new start would involve spending the summer with a fourteen-year-old girl Dressage prodigy who just lost her mother saying goodbye to the horse she loves.

Sarah has lost so much at such a young age in such a short time, her mother has died suspiciously, her father is lying about it and now he’s sold out from under her the only thing that could ever get her through this, her Dressage horse, Midnight.
