"...invokes a bit of magical wonder and makes me want to believe in miracles."
--Kim Hamilton, author of Accidental Lawyer

When hope is gone, dreams can die. Unless a bit of magic intervenes...
Cory Iverson has worked hard all year and this morning she's finally going to get her promised dream horse. Or so she thinks. In less than twenty-four hours everything in her life comes crashing down, crushing hopes, destroying dreams, and leaving her resentful of promises.
That is, until a mysterious messenger appears. A ghost horse not only saves Cory's life, but gives her much more...the gift of hope that her true Dream Horse is still out there waiting just for her.

★ "After finishing this I defy anyone not to rush out and get False Gods to learn the rest of Cory's remarkable story."
★ "You don't have to be a horse person to enjoy and appreciate her rich language, thoughtful plot, and artistry as a storyteller."
★ "Stories that everyone--not just horse people will enjoy reading."

Believing there's more to this world than meets the eye, L.R. Trovillion creates mysteries with a tiny hint of the supernatural woven into the story. Her life-long love of horses and other animals figures in the plots as well. After a career at a Department of Defense federal agency, Trovillion is now retired and lives on a small horse farm in Maryland with her husband, an ancient terrier, and several needy cats that really run the place.

5.0 out of 5 stars You don't have to be a horse person to enjoy this book!
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019

As you read her vivid portrayals of this young woman who loves horses, you will instantly know that L.R. Trovillion is a horse lover herself. That said, you don't have to be a horse person to enjoy and appreciate her rich language, thoughtful plot, and artistry as a storyteller. While I thoroughly enjoyed the prequel myself, this is exactly the kind of book I used to seek out for my book-loving daughter when she was in middle school and high school. The characters are relatable and their relationships are genuinely realistic. I'd highly recommend this to a friend and would also recommend it to any parent seeking quality reading material for special young adults in their lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Winning prequel, stops short.

In the blurb there's this challenge: "After finishing this I defy anyone not to rush out and get False Gods to learn the rest of Cory's remarkable story."
I took it on. I lost. Meaning I zipped back to Amazon to buy 'False Gods' the minute I finished this very short, very gripping prequel.
What does that tell you?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hope in the Face of Despair
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2019

I've been following Trovillion's writing for some years, and with this short prequel to her luminous first novel, "False Gods" she displays the honed perfection of pacing, voice, and character that her writing has become. The 24 hours of Cory's life described in this story are a catalogue of every teenager's worst nightmares, and the despair she expresses in the opening scene seems well-founded indeed. Even so, none of it is melodramatic, none of it is overwrought. Every scene is perfectly drawn and recognizable to anyone who has ever known -- or been -- a teenager facing a series of deep personal crises. And yet, from the very bottom of her despair, Cory will find a kernel of hope and grace to help her soldier on. After finishing this I defy anyone not to rush out and get "False Gods" to learn the rest of Cory's remarkable story.

I could not think of a good title for this review, but I identified with Cory even though I am now retired. I clearly remember my parent's divorce, the talented athletic sibling ( My brother in HS was scoured by every major football program in the country as well as all west coast major league baseball teams and the Yankees) while I was the horse happy kid who's parent's were not at all encouraging. This brought back memories of all the horses I have passthrough my life. Thank you

What a wonderful story of young lady who obviously loves horses and end learning to ride. The sadness she felt at losing the horse and the wonder of being saved by one, is certainly felt in the story. I look forward to more horse stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dream Horse is a dream!

Dream Horse by Lisa Trovillion is the perfect prequel to her Maryland Equestrian Series. Trovillion quickly draws the reader into the life of Cory Iverson as she faces seemingly impossible obstacles in the pursuit of her dream. I loved the mystic quality that the author introduces near the end of the prequel. As the reader, you will find yourself rooting for both the girl and the dream horse!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, especially if you love horses
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2019
L. R. Trovillion packs a lot of story into this short read. I knew from the beginning paragraphs that I would enjoy this book. The writing is thoughtful, the author’s voice is spot on for this genre, and the attention to detail pulls the reader fully into each scene. As the prequel to her two other novels (which also deserve 5 stars) this story reveals the emotional struggles Corey faced before she moved to Maryland. It also invokes a bit of magical wonder and makes me want to believe in miracles. I highly recommend this book.
