Kate has been training for this moment. She loves her horse, Ebony, and the long, wonderful rides they go on together. She also loves racing. She and Ebony are signed up to race in the Psamathe—or Sand Race, as it is called by the locals.
The first moments of the race are exhilarating, but a terrible accident occurs on the track. Kate is thrown over Ebony’s head and lands on the hard ground.
The head trauma is severe, and Kate lapses into a coma. Her family holds out hope, but it is still a surprise to them when Kate wakes up and makes tremendous progress.
Unfortunately, Kate may have healed physically from the injury, but she hasn’t healed mentally. After several manic breakdowns, she is booked into a psychiatric hospital nicknamed “the Hub.” There, Kate battles not only her own mental challenges but also the abusive staff who use their power to get away with cruelty.
Author Joni Daniels intends for The Hub to be experienced in a variety of ways. She includes playlists for each part and believes that the combination of sound and story can create an even more meaningful experience for readers.
