Firehorse | Diane Lee Wilson
13 posts | 4 read
Fifteen-year-old Rachel is furious and lonely when her father moves the family to Boston in 1872especially since she had to sell her beloved horse. But in Boston she finds the Governors Girl, an injured firehorse, and begins caring for her and thinking about becoming a veterinarian. Then an outbreak of fires causes Rachel to question the ethics of her journalist father, and when the horses who pull the fire engines fall ill, the danger escalates. In a dramatic climax, the Great Boston Fire of 1872 is brought to life with cinematic vividness, and Rachel proves her grit and determination to make something of herself.

I‘ve always been running, it seems. Or galloping. Yes, that‘s it: galloping! It‘s not very ladylike and it drives Mother to distraction- not to mention what it does to Father.

Brimming with emotion, I refolded the letter and cradled it in my hands. The chestnut colt—I‘d have to think of a name for him—was watching me with an impish look that promised adventure, and I smiled back at him with complete and utter satisfaction. Now this was a day to end all days . . . or to begin them.

This is my first reread of the year. I‘m usually a fan of Historical Fiction, but I was delighted to read this book again. In the book Rachel has a strong bastion to become a veterinary, no matter what her father says. It is a definite must read for anyone who is an animal lover, or anyone who needs a reminder to stand up for what they believe in. 🐴⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
