A lost horse. A broken heart. An island where anything can happen.
After a heart-wrenching tragedy in the show ring shatters Meg’s summer dreams, she escapes her grief by changing everything about her life; moving away to spend the summer on an idyllic island in the St. Lawrence River. New place. New job. No horses.
Once there, she meets Jared; still raw from his father’s sudden death in a farming accident.
When Jared offers Meg a scruffy appaloosa mare out of a friend’s back field, it’s the beginning of a journey that will change them both by summer’s end.

REVIEWS
"What a beautiful story. Slip into summer on a maritime island, where a teenage girl is escaping painful memories and savoring independence for the first time. If you're a horse-person, you'll appreciate the accurate details and descriptions of equestrian life. If you're just looking for a great story, look no further." - Natalie Keller Reinert, Author of the Eventing, and Show Barn Blues series
"This is a richly descriptive novel, making you feel as though you’re really there. The characters are well-drawn and realistic, and the romance is a slow-build but pays off beautifully in the end. This is the kind of novel you just want to step into and live in – the location, the people, everything seems idyllic yet realistic. I read it in one night, I couldn’t put it down!" - Kate Lattey, author of the Pony Jumpers series
"This is a lovely, delicate romance about two teens in mourning. What I loved about this book is that the boy and the girl learn from and heal one another ... I loved the witty dialogue and Jared was the type of hero with whom I could actually fall in love--that's something I seldom find in books nowadays! As an author of horse-related fiction myself, I found all of the details about showing and riding to be believable." - Mary Pagones, author of the Fortune's Fool series
"Appaloosa Summer takes us on a sweet journey of a teenage girl dealing with loss, deciphering family relationships, growing up, and falling for a boy - all in one summer....and on a quaint country island. Tudor Robins writes so beautifully simple that the characters, scenery, smells, and feelings come to life on the page ... I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, well-written story." - Brittney Joy, author of the Red Rock Ranch series
