Product Description
Product Description
The second novel from Jenny Pitman set in the exciting world of horseracing and following her debut, ON THE EDGE.
Book Description
Jan Hardy wants to train racehorses to win. And with her profesional training license under her belt, she visits Ireland to buy horses at auction. But she finds out more than she bargains for in the shape of influential tycoon A. D. O'Hagan. As money worries pile up and family affairs run far from smoothly, Jan comes to depend on the friendship and support of Angie Sharp, herself no stranger to the racing business, who persuades her parents to appoint Jan as their new trainer. With the support of O'Hagan, Jan builds up a string of racehorses and her jockey starts to win races. While her reputation begins to soar, family troubles still demand her attention - as does the local GP, Doctor Tony Robinson, who wants to give her more than just his loyalty. Then as her jockey inexplicably loses his winning touch, life appears to spiral out of control. And a mysterious person from Jan's past is waiting in the wings . . .

Format:Paperback
Jenny Pitman has captured life on a race horse training yard in great clarity.I found the contents very interesting and true to life. There were funny moments and very sad moments. Explaining how hard it was to raise a family and enter the horse training profession especially as she was female.Aquiring her racing licence was a major acheivement. A book you just do not want to put down.In short: a very good read, especially if you like horses or horse racing. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Second book, third is out already (The Dilemma) and a fourth on the way. If you've got this far with the books you will regret stopping. Each book is better than the last.

Very poor
This was pretty awful. I was listening on CD on a couple of very long journeys and didn't mind the descriptive stuff at first. Read more
