Description

This "hugely entertaining, riveting page-turner" (Louise Penny) follows the complicated relationship between mother and daughter as they face off in the Olympics—and into a ride they can barely control.
Maggie Atwood and Becky McCabe, mother and daughter, both champion riders, vowed to never, ever, go up against one another. 
 
Until the tense, harrowing competitions leading to the Paris Olympics. 
 
Mother and daughter share a dream: to be the best horsewoman in the world.
 
Coronado is Maggie’s horse. An absolutely top-tier Belgian warmblood. 
Sky is Becky’s horse. A small, speedy Dutch warmblood. 
 
Only James Patterson could bring you such breakneck speed, hair-raising thrills and spills.  
 
Only hall of fame sportswriter Mike Lupica could make it all so real.

    The characters were not developed and the events were predictable and reoccurring. I felt it was written to express a dislike of ICE and immigration issues, but even that was a side issue. I had to make myself finish the book.

    Boring. No suspense, no excitement, no surprise. Rather a Disney movie. It seemed like two great authors came together and mailed it in. Do yourself a favor and read their other books.

    Very much enjoyed this book. I briefly trained in show jumping and have seen enough horse shows that I could envision everything happening on the pages and loved it. I even felt tension and anxious while the riders were in the ring. I’m just curious - if one is not familiar with show jumping would this be as enjoyable a read? The riding is very prominent in the story. Anyway, I’m very glad I picked this book. Thanks

    unless your a horse rider this is not very interesting… and in the world of Jumping… its very unrealistic… mostly a child’s dream…the theory that the horses chip rails that dont fall… is too rare… and if the mom was in the pain as written… she would have fallen off her horse all the time…lots of fantasy..

  • Not very compelling-money grab by authors

    Not a well written story. Plot was not well structured as it weaved all over the place. Too many loose ends at end of book. Does Patterson even write anymore? It just past the time kind of read.

  • Writing Good so Far Horse Knowledge Very Poor

    Being a competitive rider and James Patterson fan, I really want to love this book so I am going to keep going with it but when a “she” is a colt not a filly and the mother of the horse was a mare not a dam it made me worry about the authenticity of the rest of the book. These are such basic mistakes. If it isn’t too late I’d highly recommend a equestrian editor fix the errors.
