Reseña del editor:

Two wild spirits — Hawk, a wild stallion, and Elena — forge an unlikely friendship in this story of self-discovery, drought, lost souls and family. High Desert ranching is not easy in the best of times, but during extended drought it becomes a delicate balance of life and death that taxes even the strongest of ranch-raised families. Add the dynamic of a hardened teenage foster child and a wild stallion rescued from the system and the story takes an unexpected fork in the road. On the High Desert in New Mexico, in her last chance before being sent to a detention center, Elena meets George and Sally Layton on George's family ranch. She also meets Hawk, an older emaciated wild stallion who has lost his herd — his family — due to a government round up and mustang auction. While hiking on the mesa above the Layton Ranch, Elena finds ancient ruins and learns much about herself and her cultural history. In discovering more about her past, Elena finds a path opening to her future. The two Wild Spirits, Hawk and Elena, find they have much in common, as do all creatures on this earth.

Reseña del editor:

Two wild spirits — Elena, a teenager in the foster system, and Hawk, an orphaned and emaciated wild stallion — forge an unlikely friendship in this story of self discovery. After her parents are killed in a car accident, Elena, at the age of ten, is taken away from her home on a reservation in Arizona and placed in the foster system. She is labeled a runner after escaping several urban foster situations and trying to hitch hike back to her desert home. Her last chance placement before being sent to a detention center is a high desert ranch in New Mexico, where she meets George and Sally Layton on George's family ranch. She also meets Hawk, an older, emaciated wild stallion who has lost his family, his herd, due to a government round up and mustang auction. Elena finds ancient ruins while hiking on the mesa above the Layton ranch and learns much about herself and her cultural history and teachings through her visits to these ruins. In discovering more about her past, Elena finds a path opening to her future. The two wild spirits, Hawk and Elena, find they have much in common, as do all creatures on this earth.
