Description:
Small Gains is not yet available in the U.S. but can be found on the U.K. Amazon site. It is really excellent. Like all of Peyton's books, this one is gritty and realistic, with a smart heroine and gutsy horses. Clara's life is stunningly difficult, but her toughness, and her dear trotting stallion, Rattler, help her survive. There is much that is dark about this book, but much that is light as well. I simply could not put it down.
