The Horse Whisperer by Nicholas Evans



One morning while teenage Grace Maclean is riding her pony, she meets with a megaton truck that leaves her and her four-legged friend damaged in mind, body, and spirit. Meanwhile, back at the ranch her mom, Annie Graves is working out a wrinkle in her self-absorbed existence when she gets a call at her Manhattan office about Grace's accident. Racked with guilt, Graves makes it her calling to find the mythical horse whisperer who has the ability to heal horses (and broken souls) with soothing words and a gentle touch. He arrives in the form of Tom Booker-- a rugged, sensitive, dreamy cowboy who helps the pony and Grace repair their fractured selves. 



Nice romance without the sentimental rubbish. I found the writing style to be smooth and beautiful. A great summer read!.
