Review: Set during the Soviet era, Dosha and her beautiful stallion are drafted into and become the star of the Soviet Dressage Team -- but can she keep her Gypsy heritage hidden from everyone so she can escape to the west?
There's plenty of drama in the form or romance and action.
The realism stays true and is brilliantly told. This book was well researched
and it shows.
I'm not going to give away any more of this book-- but be
sure to add it to your shelf this year. It's a must read.
