The Summary

Ella finds refuge at Hillside Farm, which is tucked away in the Welsh countryside's undulating hills. Ella believes she has at last found a place where she can forget her past and find serenity because she lives on the isolated farm with just horses and her aunt Bron for companionship.

But all changes when a young child named Hope and her father Harry show up. Ella discovers that she too deserves happiness as she aids the pair in accepting their loss. But is there still time to locate it?

My Review

One of the sweetest stories I've ever read is this one. What I was looking for is in the book.

This is a great story about Ella, who uses horses for equestrian therapy but for people, and a young child named Hope who requires the horses, but I won't go into details because I don't like spoilers. It's a touching story about forgiveness, letting go of the past, and faith.

Every single character is endearing and completely relatable. A story with outstanding character development that focused on people who were really damaged and in desperate need of healing.

Of course, there is the local community, which is weaved throughout the main narrative and is welcomed in such a place. You seem to be a part of them, somehow.

The plot's slow-burning pace, steady unraveling of the character's complicated inner worries, and consistent pacing keep the reader turning pages in anticipation of what will happen next.

Although the language is amusing and playful, it has a profound significance. It's similar to paying a senior neighbor a visit and talking to them.

Overall, I had a hard time putting this amazing book down. Despite the predictability of the scenario, I was deeply moved by the author's skill at smoothly incorporating each piece of artwork into the story.

An excellent book to read when you want to lift your spirits or when you're feeling sad.


My ratings score:

★★★★★ Fantastic! Made me go through a lot of emotions & the entire book is incredibly beautifully done! 

★ Memorable! Despite its shortcomings, this book was incredible and taught us a lot. 

★ Good work! Nothing particularly remarkable, but still nice.

★ Meh... Mediocre with great room for improvement.

★ Extremely Poor.
