The book is named after a horse. It's part of the plot and a wild and headstrong horse. The story, tho, really centers around Savannah. She fell in love with her half-brother when they were both young, but he was afraid to acknowledge it since he would betray the family that "adopted" him. There are also a few sub-plots centering around Savannah's nephew that runs away and her brother-in-law that's embezzling money from whatever enterprise he can. It's one of Lisa's earlier books (1986), so she hadn't really gotten into her groove yet...hence 3 star rating.
He was her first love...and her first lesson in betrayal. Savannah Beaumont once loved Travis McCord with all the intensity of adolescence. And one summer night she'd believed he loved her, too. But the light of day brought with it the truth--Travis was gone, leaving Savannah feeling like a fool. Nine years later, she's still telling herself she despises Travis McCord.
