Chasing the Wind


I grew up loving reading a good book.  There was nothing like taking a mini-vacation to another place or another world, the words on the book's page and your imagination carrying you away.  While I don't get to read as much  as I used to, I still enjoy the chance to unwind and live vicariously through the pages of a good book.

I just finished Hannah Hooton's latest book, Chasing the Wind.  Part of the Aspen Valley Series, it is set against the background of British Horseracing.  The book combines drama, suspense, and mystery, with plot twists and turns that keep you turning the page.

For horse lovers, horses and the daily lives of a racing stable and the British Racing culture are vividly rendered, making reading this book double the fun.

A good book not only transports you fully into the world of the characters,  but it also leaves you a little sad at the end.  Such was the case with Chasing the Wind.  As I finished the last page of the book, I felt happily satisfied at the ending (I don't want to give away the plot), but was a little wistful that my time in Aspen Valley had come to an end.
