The New Sasha Silver... Introducing... Lauren Towers

The Blurb

Out with the old, in with the new...

Sasha Silver and Co. have moved onward and upward at Canterwood Crest, and it's time for a new crew to take the reins at the elite riding academy.

Enter Lauren, an old friend of Sasha's, who leaves behind everything and knows to try to make her mark at Canterwood. New experiences, new friends, and new drama are waiting for her through the gates- and life as she knows it will never be the same.

Old Blurb

Out with the old, in with the new ...

Lauren Towers has always had one dream: to be a professional equestrian, competing with the best of the best. Natch, she's applied for a highly coveted spot at Canterwood Crest Academy.

But while she waits to see if she gets in, Lauren is left contemplating her life in Union, Connecticut and the horrible accident that brought her there. Suddenly, Lauren is left wondering: even if she does get into Canterwood, will her past make her stronger or will it stand in the way of her future as an equestrian for good?

Detailed Plot Summary

The book begins in Red Oak Trials at a cross-country competition, 18 months before the present time. Lauren Towers, the point of view, is certain and cocky she will win. She mounts Skyblue, the school gelding she rides, and enters the starting box. The bell rings and Lauren and Skyblue race through every jump beautifully, making good time and proper jump form. Soon they are at the last jump, a vertical, and Lauren closes on the finish line and counts strides. Just before the bush, however, as the crowd cheers and screams, Skyblue digs his hooves into the grass and stops. Lauren, unprepared, flies over his head and slams into the ground, nearly unconscious. The crowd screams, and an ambulance siren is heard. Mr. Wells bends over her and she manages to ask if Skyblue is alright. He is fine, and her mother and father kneel beside her with a strange expression on their face. Then, Lauren passes out and everything goes black.
