Learning to Fall

A Novel

By: Anne Clermont

Narrated by: Shannon McManus

Brynn honors her passion for horses by studying at the toughest veterinary program in the country. Months from graduating, tragedy strikes - tragedy for which she can't help but feel responsible. Brynn feels suffocated by the weight of her father's legacy and his dusty hopes for horse show jumping success. When Brynn's frenetic efforts to dig the family business out of debt fail, she's down to one desperate hope.

Enter Jason Lander, who understands what it's like to walk away from the ring. The onetime champion agrees to train Brynn, and her horse Jett, for an all-or-nothing run at the prestigious Million Dollar Gold Cup. But going all the way means doing it his way, which has Brynn questioning her decisions, her loyalties, and her growing feelings for Jason - complicating her relationship with her lover.

Set in Northern California against a stunning backdrop of coastal hills and valleys, Learning to Fall is about discovering how to let go - and how to hang on with your heart.

Critic reviews

"Authentic, captivating, and relatable." ( Plaid Horse Magazine)

All the Pretty Little Horses

I loved the overall story. The only thing I didn't love was the romantic scenes. If I want that I would rather be involved because I don't believe that is a spectator sport. I love horses and I could see in my minds eye riding and training the horses.

Great storyline

I enjoyed the realism of the show world portrayed & felt the description of horses & their behavior accurate! Great storyline!

Brynn

I enjoyed this story. Very sad part but loved she did achieve some wonderful goals. I wished we could of seen her finish vet school although it hinted she was calling her professor. This helped me feel better when I was sick to allow me to relax.

Fathers love

Mom found her daughter after controlling Dad dies...then Daughter gets strength through spirituality. Horse descriptions beautiful.

Loved it

I ride horses and thought most of this was pretty accurate! The character development was great and the the story was interesting. I hope the author writes more horse books! (So hard to find decent adult horse books!)
