Publisher's Synopsis
Rafferty Lincoln Loves...
A sensational and compelling, coming of age story for older YA (young adult) readers and adults. Foreword by Frankie Dettori MBE, ambassador for the British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre.
Rafferty Lincoln doesn't like horses. Not one bit. But when the popular high school girl of his dreams, Liberty Ashburn pulls him into a world of lead ropes and horse brushes, who is he to say no?
Except this isn't any old horse. This is the missing racehorse, Profits Red Ridge. The horse Rafferty and three of his friends are hiding from the world. And Liberty Ashburn isn't just any ordinary high school girl. How far will Rafferty go to win her over?
An intense, witty and powerful coming of age story with startling consequences.
'A heart-warming and emotional story that will stay with you long after you've read the final page. With one of the most beautiful writing styles I've ever read, an emotionally charged story, and brilliantly created characters - this book is sure to stay with you for a very long time.' @MegsTyas Between the Pages
'A story full of heart, this took me by the reins and left me breathless.' @hayleylipsquid Lipsquid Book blog
A book that will become a huge favourite amongst horse lovers and easily become as much loved as Patricia Leitch and K.M. Peyton novels. The novel, packed with equestrian knowledge, although aimed at teens certainly had me gripped and would suit adults just as easily. Although centred around horses, this novel has the makings of a book that would easily rival popular young adult titles such as The Perks of being a Wallflower and The Fault in Our Stars. A top horse novel from author, Emily Williams. Goodreads review.
