June 20, 2019 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.

I work in adult services and will read nearly anything (yes, really). If I'm not reading with my cat in my lap, then I'm typically out exploring local parks with my family, our dog in tow.
