Jesse, absorbed for years by his own broken dreams, has unexpectedly become a single parent to his three children, a role he believes is entrusted only to mothers. His sixteen-year-old son, Cole, blames him for his mother’s unlikely decision to leave him and his sisters in their father’s care. His four-year-old daughter, Sky, won’t speak in his presence. Only eleven-year-old Katie, a tough realist with a soft spot for broken things, has always tried to believe in him. The mustang is intended as a birthday surprise for Katie, but the abused and terrified animal breaks free of a hastily constructed corral the day she is delivered. Jesse swears to Katie that, with the help of his profane, bootlegging, paraplegic best friend, he will find and return the mare. As their journey unfolds, recapturing the mustang becomes Jesse’s path to redemption, even as he becomes the mare’s only hope for survival.

“Fine, damn fine. And at times simply stunning!”
—Dorothy Allison, author of National Book Award finalist Bastard Out of Carolina

“… a real accomplishment … [Dream Chaser] is a powerful and beautiful book.”
—Sean Carswell, author of Madhouse Fog
