Riding Out the Tempest — Hilary Walker

Jack Harper, the horse trainer, has fulfilled the terms of his penance by apologizing to his ex-girlfriend in England for deserting her when she was pregnant â€" and insisting she abort their baby.

But he suspects he may be atoning for something he didn't do when she flies over to the U.S. in the hopes of rekindling their romance.

Then Joe, the teenager he helped overcome ulcerative colitis, comes back to see him, spinning Jack's world into an emotional turbulence that he is powerless to control.

All Jack ever wants is to train horses â€" but once again, God has other plans for him.
