Set in Victorian times, this is the story of Alice, her passion for horses, and her need to find out who her true father is. Alice is fearless with horses, even joining in at the races. Suddenly her life is turned upside down when she discovers the man who she believes is her father is not - and that she is to join a large and wealthy family to be brought up as an heiress. The best thing is the horses - and Alice discovers an extraordinary talent for calming even the killer thoroughbred racehorse. She even has a horse of her own, but shadowing this happiness is the bullying of her adopted sister, and the distant figures of her real parents. K M Peyton is the creator of the famous Flambards series, winner of the Carnegie medal, and adored by generations of horse-loving children. Her first book was published while she was still at school.
