Rachel’s Risk by Hilary Walker
To me this book is about two stories: the horse and the woman.
Rachel, a biologist and a teacher is interested in the horses on the island.
She meets many when she arrives as a tour has been set up for them all. There are doctors and specialists on the tour, very knowledgeable.
Have heard of wild ponies on other islands but not this type and I love to read everything with words 'pearl' in them.
She is loving her time on the island researching notes in hand on the Pearls. She also has a copy of Gordon's book on the birds in the local area.
She spends time by herself at the lighthouse to watch the horses in action. Her main goal was to seek revenge for the death of her husband. The murderer has not been found yet. It consumes so much of her time thinking til other things take place.
Love how the hurricane comes and she is lucky to make it back to the lighthouse when others arrive to take her off the island. What she discovers the next day makes her think she did make a wrong decision.
Like how the couple are the older ages as they relate to my age as well. She is able to help others in saving the one stallion. As she's leaving the island early as she feels like it's not her type as she's not religious for the people there.
She turns Gordon away from her when she bursts out that she doesn't believe in God. There are a few quotes form the Bible throughout the book when the situation arises.
They do come to terms but you wonder for how long it will last. They are honest with one another...he has a medical emergency and you wonder if they can remain together. She has many options on the island and she weighs the pros and cons. She knows after her rehab with the horse what she must do...
Other part of the book is about the horse and I didn't think I'd learn too much about tending to them, but this book si very descriptive in that regard. She is patient with Risk.
Love where this book goes, hardships, struggles, finding her religion, friendship from so many on the island.
Best book I've read from this author and I love all of her works but in depth character is developed so much stronger in this one. Love that they are older with things that matter to them-the issues, health and religion.
Learned so much about the horses and about the religion as it's very specific in many situations, reading from the bible and discussing the sections is power.… (plus d'informations)

A Blazing Truth: A Modern Catholic Novel: Book 3 by Hilary Walke
Like how this book starts out with references and resources on the net that you can follow along with.
Story picks up where the last one left off, but even if you've not read the prior books you are brought up to date on past events. Located in England.
Like how some people handle themselves especially when it comes to preaching the Bible. Others take it upon themselves to dictate what the parish will be discussing, even though it goes against ahe Catholic religion.
Follows a lot of priests in different positions in the church as they scramble out of sorts when they have been cancelled. Never heard this phrase before and don't recall it happening in US when I was growing up in Catholic schools. Like when they are reinstated and combine forces with those who were put in their place. Glad they found out who the rat was in this case but there is a death among them, he felt God left him.
Like locations and people involved that I've followed throughout, even new ones and how to provide solutions and get along for the good of the Church.
Highly recommend this one.
Received a review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.… (plus d'informations)

A Divine Truth by Hilary Walker
This story follows the priests as they are cancelled from their positions at their rectories.
The bishop is the one in charge of that and his sister Mary starts investigating to learn what is going on.
Her spouse has also been ousted and lives with others in a boarding house. Like the plan of the canceled priest and their housing at the location where they can heal and better themselves.
Til the bishop has a medical emergency he can't see what's going on....
Love how Mary comes through with her decorating skills and having time for her ex-spouse.
Never thought story would end this way, WOW. Great contribution to society. Love scenery descriptions.

Riding Out The Race by Hilary Walker
Story starts with Laura and she's almost due to deliver the baby.
Jack is busy with a new crazy horse. It's just Christmas day but he needs the money training the horse will bring into the ranch.
What I like about this story is the realism that happens. The accounts of the horse, injuries, therapy, treatments are all discussed in detail and actually happened to the author's horse.
Not only is the story about the horse and his health but there's a nice story also of the family and their friends.
So many that need healing head to the ranch, everything from a horse to a jockey with just one arm and doesn’t like horses.
Second Chances ... lots of inspirations.
About the author and contact links and her other works are highlighted at the end.
