Runaway Moon - Carole T. Beers

"Socially relevant, smart and witty." -Anne Schroeder, bestselling author and Will Rogers Gold Medallion Award Winner

One midnight 17-year-old Cora Cassidy gallops away from her abusive family on a modern Oregon ranch to illegally catch mustangs. She hoped to be a famous trainer and writer.

The desert is breathtaking, its way is hard.

Grit by grit, Cora learns to survive, and meets helpful strangers. But she also tangles with mustang poachers, battles a would-be rapist, and faces blow back for her stubborn pride.

And why does that hunky Indian cowboy keep showing up?
