In the Heart of a Mustang by M.J. Evans is a poignant young adult coming-of-age novel that explores healing through the bond between a troubled teen and a rescued wild horse.
Fifteen-year-old Hunter, crushed by the revelation that his father—long thought a heroic soldier—is actually an imprisoned felon, spirals into rebellious behavior and lands at Promise Ranch, a facility for at-risk youth. There, he meets a rescued mustang mare, one of several rounded up and rehabilitated by the ranch. With the help of a seasoned counselor and the mare’s gentle presence, Hunter gradually learns trust, forgiveness, and self-worth.
Awarded the Gold Medal for Young Adult Fiction by Literary Classics and silver honors from both Nautilus and Readers’ Favorite, this tender tale highlights the healing power of horses and the strength that emerges from unexpected connections.
