About This Book
Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling with feelings of invisibility at home or is navigating a period of intense loneliness. It is particularly suited for adolescents who feel like their parents are physically present but emotionally distant, leading to a deep yearning for independence and authentic connection. The story follows Kirsty, whose father offers no emotional support, leaving her horses as her only companions. When she discovers Dally, a runaway living in the wild to escape his own suffocating family life, the two form a bond rooted in their shared isolation. This is a quiet, evocative realistic fiction for readers aged 12 to 16. It validates the difficult transition toward adulthood while exploring how friendship can provide the validation that a cold home environment lacks.
