Product details Children's Literature Legacy Award Winner This remarkable story was inspired by the true adventures of a little known, horse-loving heroine of the west. Perfect for fans of Pax, Wildoak, and A Horse Named Sky. Charlotte Parkhurst was raised in an orphanage for boys, which suited her just fine. She didn't like playing with dolls, she could hold her own in a fight, and she loved to work in the stable. Charlotte had a special way with horses and wanted to spend her life training and riding them on a ranch of her own. The problem was, as a girl in the mid-1800s, Charlotte was expected to live a much different life--one without the freedoms she dreamed of. But Charlotte was smart and determined, and she figured out a way to live her life on her terms. Publishers Weekly,PW's starred review called this fictionalized biography of equestrian Charlotte "Charley" Parkhurst���who lived her life disguised as a man and was the first woman voter in the U.S.���an "ebullient and tautly structured novel that moves along at a gallop."
