This epic horse story, in the tradition of BLACK STALLION, is from one of our most treasured and celebrated novelists. Maya is a captive. In Grandmother's house in California, she is forbidden from playing or having friends, every word and action is strictly monitored, and even her memories of her mother have been erased -- except within the imaginary world she has created. A world away, in the rugged Wyoming wilderness, a tobiano Paint horse called Artemisia runs free, belonging only to the stars. The mother of a new foal and the lead mare of a harem band in a land where survival is precarious, she embodies the spirit of the wild-and she holds the key to Maya's memories.En la casa de su abuela a Maya le tienen prohibido jugar o tener amigos; todo lo que hace esta supervisado y han borrado todo aquello que le recordaba a su madre. En un mundo muy lejano al de Maya, en Wyoming, una yegua llamada Artemisia cabalga libre bajo las estrellas. Acaba de parir un potro y es la yegua lider de una manada de caballos. Pero Artemisia, ademas, tiene la llave que puede abrir los recuerdos de Maya.

Moonlight on the Mersey
Same buried-childhood-secrets and grief over a lost mother, but adult saga with romance and an older heroine rather than a girl-and-horse story.
The Cake Shop in the Garden
Same grief-and-chosen-family warmth with a controlling family member to escape, but set among adults with a gentle romance instead of a child's wilderness quest.
The Siren
Keeps the lyrical, nature-bound loneliness and longing for belonging, though it trades wild horses for sirens and adds a romance thread.
The way you make me feel
Another story of a guarded girl learning to trust and make friends, but lighter, funnier, and centered on summer romance.
Fangirl
Same theme of a girl using imagined worlds to cope with family upheaval, though older-skewing and campus-set rather than wilderness.
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
Also warm found-family and piecing together a life after a mother's death, but lighter, older, and centered on first-love romance instead of wilderness.
