In a logical, clear-thinking, pre-911 world Boy Hernandez would be madly filling orders with his newly established women’s fashion line, (B)oy for Bergdorf-Goodman, Bloomingdale’s and other trend setting hotspots. But in this post-911 world of fast and at times, sloppy security work, Boy’s been thrown into Gitmo for allegedly assisting terrorists by funneling money through his clothing design studio. HA!
I often say that books are only old if you have read them, no matter when they were first published. I came across one such new book recently (it has been on our shelves for quite a while, but I have only just read it, so it is new to me!)
A young girl is found on the banks of the river and is taken in by Simon, a mean soul who gives her food and shelter but no love. She is named Heart by the old village healer who watches over her and gives her the love a young girl needs. The tale begins as Heart finds a wounded, scared, and starving white horse in the forest. Taking her in and nursing her back to health, Heart discovers that the horse is with foal. Soon after the foal is born, Heart realizes that the horses are in fact Unicorns.
The first in a series, this sets Heart off on her adventure with the horse she found and her foal, Moonsilver, as together they run from danger.
