Summer's Story by Nancy Famolari
My latest release is Summer's Story: Summer's Story takes place in the fast paced world of harness racing. For fourteen years, my husband and I had a small Standardbred breeding farm in New Jersey. We raised and raced these marvelous horses. Harness racing is very exciting. There are many heart warming stories about an owner or trainer believing in their horse and against the odds getting the horse to win a big race. This is what happens in Summer's Story. There are also people who take advantage of both horses and people for personal gain, not caring the least about how the horse is affected. I believed these elements would make a good novel. I hope people agree.
I loved writing the book, but what I enjoyed most was developing the character of Summer Langston. She's a very determined lady who cares about her horse, Meadow, and overcomes severe personal and professional obstacles to get her horse to the winner's circle. In the process, she learns something about herself and how to give and receive love. I like the fact that she's gutsy and doesn't give up easily.

Blurb: Summer's father, a famous racehorse trainer, is dead; his only asset, a fabulous trotter. Two men offer help to get the horse to the races. Summer refuses Ned, owner of Golden Oaks, blaming him for her father's death. Davis, a famous racehorse driver, wins her heart, but deserts her after she suffers a serious accident on the track. Behind the scenes, Max, a wealthy owner, will do anything to get the horse for his stable. Can Summer get her trotter to the winner's circle and most important will she find love?

Hi Nancy, Summer's Story sounds like a really good book. I enjoy watching harness racing. My first date with my husband was when he invited me to go to Northfield Park in Ohio with him one night. I didn't bet, but he did. I would always tell him who I thought would win and majority of the time I was right. Miss going to the track, but since moving to TN haven't be to one in person.
Hi Becky,
If you like the track, I think you would enjoy Summer's Story. I loved racing. It's very exciting -- sometimes hair-raising, too!
Thanks for your comment!
Also thanks to Rose Marie for hosting me today. Great fun!!
