Once on track as an Olympic hopeful, a disheartened Joannie returns to her hometown of Moscow, Idaho, where she rekindles an old friendship, nurtures her aging horse Foxfire, and finds herself entangled in an abusive affair that threatens to throw her life into total chaos. In a bizarre and tragic turn of events, she manages to persevere and press onward. “Sian Griffiths puts Idaho on the map. Her writing is as tough and lovely as a flower blooming in gravel.”--Amina Gautier, At-Risk, Winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award
