| Publisher Description: After losing his parents and suffering through eleven foster homes in eight yeas, fifteen-year old Jordy Threebears returns to the Ash Creek Blackfoot Reserve to live with a grandfather he hardly knows. For Jordy, the years of resentment and anger prove difficult to overcome until he receives the gift of a wild mare. With his horse Siksika, Jordy gains a companion as well as the determination to beat the odds. But Fred Brady's unexplainable hatred of Jordy threatens the boy's chance for happiness. |
