For anyone who has ever dreamed of hearing a horse's story . . .

Alabama, 1856. Tennessee Rose is a dark bay Tennessee Walking Horse with

a rose-shaped marking on her forehead. She loves dashing around the

plantation in the running walk that her breed is famous for, then coming

back to her comfortable stall and her friend Levi, the enslaved boy who is

her groom. But as the Civil War approaches, Rosie begins to question

plantation life. Is slavery fair? Could Levi be free? Like Black Beauty, this moving novel is told in first person from the horse's point of

view and includes an appendix full of photos and facts about Tennessee

Walking Horses and the Civil War.
