I feel the tension of how Sonora is getting briefed on the situation of jumping with a horse. To mount and stay in the air. The preparation, the anxious energy. The weight of this moment before. Al is becoming someone that Sonora can lean onto. The narrator really gets me in the mindset of the story. It feels like I’m transported in time I think.

I love Al’s explanation to Sonora.Sonora recognizes how genuinely kind he is.Al sees a performer who can dive.Who has gained a lot of growth and is ready for horse diving.When I observe Sonora’s state of mind-she’s a mix of excitement and deep nervousness.She’s proud but also on the verge of a leap of faith vibe. The audiobook narrator is fantastic by the way. Sonora gets a lesson on Doc’s moods via the hat

The way that her fear and stakes were raised as Doc expected her to know diving moves. And how she had to not mingle with common folk with what Doc said. That’s some twisted mental projection he has in mind. She’s a people person. She explains her thought processes as she dives. I feel the impact. I see the blurry water. These scenes (of the practice) are crafted to a higher degree. Enjoyed the care of pacing.

I’m enjoying the immersion. She notices that Dr. Carver acts in variable behavior. I was really touched how Lorena helped Sonora. Lorena reflects on how her family and current situation. There’s a new life with people who are starting to see the talent of Sonora. It’s tough training. Georgie, the youngest of the Carvers notes that Sonora has it with riding without anything. I like the pacing and writing.

No nothing on the horse.Sonora will need the strength & endurance and the mental energy to figure it out.Sonora is getting a lecture from Allen. Enemies to lovers trope is always a safe bet and most likely the best I see here. She needs this place to be more home after riding all day.I like her narration.The dynamic with Allen & Sonora is now little more connected after the cold water immersion.It’s awkward moment.

Allen is the son of Dr Carver and the daughter is Lorena (Dr. Carver); Al doesn’t welcome her and tries to play some verbal games with Sonora. Not all that welcoming. Mystery… too, huh. Doc says that Mr. Grover is seeking trouble on the “welfare” of the horses. Al is a common denominator for stirring trouble.I love the vocabulary of everyone. Sonora glows with a beautiful affirmation of beginning new life her

I can feel and be in the scene as Sonora greets the horses and I love this part of the book. If anything, this reminds me of the horse therapy I do weekly. It’s refreshing to be with Sonora.

Fast paced. I find that Sonora is feeling challenged. She learns about how Dr. Carver likes a very presentable person and is from a prestigious family. Dr. Carver talks weirdly about his son in both great and unflattering ways- how Allen is a wayward guy but does get the horses to do what must be done for the show. I think the stage reminds me of the circus that moves to towns quickly? I really enjoy the audiobook to

The way she waits.She couldn’t do numbers- the anticipation weighing on her. Her sister, her mother love her so deeply.Sonora keeps her skills fresh but she showed up to the event & Dr. W. F. Carver kind of had a do I know you with Sonora.Thankfully Sonora pipped in and got her chance to confirm this is what she is meant to do. I like that she analyzed the act- that was very smart of her.Sonora’s thematics ❤️
