An abandoned horse brings two teens together after they are shipwrecked on opposites sides of a desolate west coast island. Two worlds collide when a Native boy and a blind girl are thrust into extreme circumstances after being shipwrecked on opposite sides of a desolate island on the west coast of British Columbia in the middle of winter. While young blind girl, Maddie, must rely on providence, her guide dog, and an abandoned horse to help her survive, August has a wealth of cultural heritage and survival skills to draw from. All too soon, Maddie’s luck runs out and her sense of humour and unending never-quit attitude fail her, leaving her to wonder if she can carry on. Her prayers are answered when the horse she has named Valentino leads her to the meadow where August is setting snares. August is enchanted by the pretty teen, quickly embracing the role of sole provider, until roles are reversed after a tragic accident leaves August in dire need of medical attention. Inspired by the true story of Will, the horse that got left behind on Jedidiah Island when it was donated to B.C. Parks and a woman who survived for ten days after being shipwrecked on a remote coastline in Haida Gwaii. This is the last book in The Holiday Series. It is a stand alone.
