    About this ebook

    Maddy Jacobs loves horses, but she never thought she would be forced to steal one. When her Uncle David sells her grandmother’s beloved horse, Black Wind, to a slaughter man, he gives Maddy no choice, except to steal Black Wind. What she did not expect was her uncle’s violent response.

    Now, everyone Maddy loves is in danger. This is certainly not the best time to fall in love with Sara.

    Sara is determined to help Maddy stop her uncle, but they have to hurry. David’s attacks are becoming more and more vicious, and someone could die.

    Aya Walksfar

    Born on the wrong side of life,I learned to make myself invisible, to be so quiet that no one noticed me in the shadows. My illiterate grandfather, and nearly illiterate grandmother valued books and education; consequently, they coaxed a Carnegie Librarian to teach me to read and write by age six.When I was nine years old, my grandfather was murdered; the killer never apprehended. Writing allowed me to deal with my anger and grief by changing the ending of that particular reality: I wrote murder stories.I published my first poem and my first journalistic articles around the age of fourteen. It was a time of countrywide unrest and riots.After that, I never stopped writing--poems, articles, short stories, novels.Good Intentions (first edition), a literary novel, received the Alice B. Reader Award for Excellence in 2002.Sketch of a Murder and Street Harvest have made Amazon's Top 100 Bestseller's Lists several times.
