From the dust jacket description: Dawn purposely averted her gaze from the house. If she looked, she might see the rusted bumper of his car. If she didn’t look, there was still a hope that he wasn’t there. Even if he was home, maybe he was asleep. Then all she and her sisters had to do was stay very quiet until there mother got home. Dawn has learned that silence is the best way to deal with her father’s abuse—silence when he is at home, silence to outsiders about her family, and a silent refusal to cry no matter what. So Dawn is silent—silent and cautious and withdrawn, with a tight rein on her emotions. Then she meets Elroy Everley, the nicest grown-up she has ever known, and the beautiful horse, Wildfire. Elroy teachers her to take care of Wildfire, to ride him, to love him. Slowly, the icy wall Dawn has built around herself begins to melt. She is happier than she ever imagined she could be, ever allowed herself to be. But all along, Dawn is convinced that this happiness cannot last. She is right. Her unrestrained joy brings her unimaginable sorrow, inconsolable loss. But it also brings her unexpected hope.
