Spencer Reed Mysteries

Sixteen year old Spencer Reed lives with her crippled grandfather and a mother who refuses to leave the house. Home schooled and isolated, Spencer has no friends. Only the certain knowledge that she'll inherit the family farm one day and be able to fulfil.

Horse shows mean long hours. While unloading a trailer after a grueling weekend, sixteen year old Spencer Reed discovers a stowaway child. Frightened. Mute. Spencer can't resist a good mystery. But she finds more than she bargains for when she looks for the answers. Filled with surprises, Dark Horse will take the reader on an unexpected adventure beyond the glitter of a horse show ring.

Spencer Reed's grandfather is finally out of rehab. She travels to Tucson to drive him to Wind Star Ranch, a horse ranch and assisted care facility on the edge of the Saguaro Desert where her grandfather plans to spend the remainder of the winter.
