{"product_id":"crickets-choice-the-cricket-oconner","title":"Cricket's Choice (The Cricket O'Conner)","description":"Cricket O’Conner may have outrun the wildfire that swept through her family’s ranch a year ago, but she can’t outrun the psychological aftermath of her narrow escape.\n\nEveryone considers her a hero for saving two horses from the fire, but Cricket doesn’t feel like a hero. She feels as if her life has been upended. Her grades are slipping, she’s not getting along with her parents or her best friend, and she’s plagued by nightmares and flashbacks. Trying to be helpful, her grandmother’s given her a huge gift — but one Cricket doesn’t want. Worst of all, Gonna Be, the problematic horse she rode through the fire and then sold, has shown up unexpectedly in an auction ring.\n\nIs Cricket still responsible for a deeply troubled horse she no longer owns? It will take every penny Cricket has earned to buy back the half-starved and abused gelding. She’ll forfeit her hopes of buying a well-trained horse to show this summer. She’ll be stuck with a horse she never really liked, who now has at least as many problems as Cricket. But, can she live with herself if she abandons him now?\n\nThe choice Cricket makes will change her life forever.\n\nCricket’s Choice is the long-awaited sequel to Fire Pony, a finalist for the 2020 Willa Literary Award - Women Writing the West.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 098525825X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.098525825X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ruble, Robert|Ruble, Sheila\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
