In the still of a snow-covered morning in upstate New York, a girl out riding her horse is hit by a 40-ton truck. Though horribly injured, both thirteen-year-old Grace Maclean and her horse Pilgrim survive. But the impact on their lives and the lives of those who love them is devastating.

Grace is the only child of a prominent New York magazine editor, Annie Graves, and her lawyer husband Robert. In a way which none of them at first understands, their destiny comes to depend upon Pilgrim's. So mutilated and traumatized is he that even the vet who saved his life now wishes he hadn't. Annie refuses to have him destroyed, sensing that if she does, something in Grace will die too.

She hears about a man in Montana, a 'whisperer' who is said to have the gift of healing troubled horses. Abandoning her job, Annie sets off across the continent with Grace and Pilgrim to find him. The man's name is Tom Booker and he lives on the Rocky Mountain Front, a place of daunting beauty. Here, under the massive Montana sky, all their lives are changed forever.


The novel and the movie

****

I haven't seen the movie that is based on this book. This book became my favourite because of horses and the charming character of Tom Booker. I admire horses for some reason, think they are smart - of course they are big animals, and I feel small beside them. The way the "whisperer" in this book handled horses is close to my own attitude, how to do - and author has understood that the "whisperer" should be in balance with himself first.

I liked this book (partly because riding was my hobby for a long time, and I know something about horses).
It was very moving and sad. I read it very quickly, because it was fascinating.
