Kristin D says:
Sort of like National Velvet for a new generation. A wonderful memoir filled with bravery, wit and adventure.
The author describes how, at the age of 19, she became the youngest and first-ever female winner of the punishing horse race known as the Mongol Derby, a 10-day course that recreates the horse messenger system developed by Genghis Khan.
