The Story of a Wounded Horse Healer
The tale of Jack Harper's tempestuous return to his faith
Jack is only interested in helping horses. Period. Human owners irritate him.
He’s working with an anxious gelding when a mystery woman calls his cell phone. As she does once each year, she makes the same short statement before hanging up.
Already rattled, that evening he receives bad news which sends him back to his native England for the first time in 17 years.
The evil secrets he’s had under tight control for nearly two decades quickly begin to unravel, and on returning to his Maryland farm he is forced to share an embarrassing truth with total strangers.
A wounded Jack opens his reluctant heart to a boy in dire need of what only the trainer can offer, and discovers a talent for healing more than horses.

Reviews for Riding Out the Tempest:
"I actually read this one twice. .. I really enjoy the story of Jack and how he's using horses to share his knowledge on both his illness and helping teenagers overcome health issues and insecurity issues.
"I'm looking forward to the next one... Because Jack has to get the girl..." - Kindle Customer
"A very easy read with both human and animal characters, both likeable and lifelike. The story leads easily from the first book, Riding out the Devil, and leads up well towards the third in the trilogy." - Wendy Emblin

Leaked information and an unwelcome visit from his ex-girlfriend now threaten to destroy any hopes the horse trainer has of winning over Laura, Joe’s widowed mother.
Jack is forced to choose between coming clean to Laura about his past or trying to enter into a relationship with her based on a lie. She will despise him if he tells the truth, but telling a falsehood runs contrary to his religious principles.
Both roads will be rough, but which one will Jack take?

Reviews for Riding Out the Rough:
"The third in the series focuses less on horses and more on the relationships of Jack to the people he loves and to understanding his relationship to God. While I am not Catholic, the religious overtones in the novel encouraged me to think about my own feelings about a Higher Being and that impact in my life. These characters are flawed and human but innately good and you WANT them to be successful. A lovely Christmas Day read! Despite the author's assurance that this is the last in the series, she has left enough things open to allow for another.....What do you think, Hilary??" - Aviva Nebesky
"I couldn't put it down!
"I don't think I've ever read a book so fast. The story was just a fun read and the characters were so believable. I don't know about anyone else, but I still don't like Penny but I have to say her part was well written.
"I also enjoyed the ending. It was happy without it being over gushing. I'll actually miss reading the Jack series but it was ended perfectly." - Kindle Customer
"I hate to come to the end of a good book!
"I loved the Jack Harper trilogy and will miss escaping into its pages. It was a great story with characters that I could relate to easily. This is the fourth book I've read by this author and look forward to her next one." - John G.
