For the answer she seeks out trainer Whit Riley, a bitter recluse. Soon, Leigh enters the high stakes world of thoroughbred racing and an explosive relationship with Whit while challenged by a scheming young widow determined to take both Whit and Silver Dreams away from her. Silver Dreams, a rags-to-riches horse, proves to be the catalyst needed for Leigh to open her heart and find love and fulfillment. Brilliantly captures the world of thoroughbred horses and the people who love them.
