Editorial Review: Product Description: Anxiety rules Annemarie Zimmer's days—the fear that her relationship with the man she loves is growing stagnant; the fear that equestrian daughter Eva's dreams of Olympic glory will carry her far away from her mother . . . and into harm's way. For five months, Annemarie has struggled to make peace with her past. But if she cannot let go, the personal battles she has won and the heights she has achieved will have all been for naught. It is a time of change at Maple Brook horse farm, when loves must be confronted head-on and fears must be saddled and broken. But it is an unanticipated tragedy that will most drastically alter the fragile world of one remarkable family—even as it flings open gates that have long confined them, enabling them all to finally ride headlong and free. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Water for Elephant loverI read Riding Lessons and Flying Changes because I was interested in Sara Gruen's other books after reading Water for Elephants. As stated in my Riding Lessons review, I can't give these books 5 stars because I'm not a horse person and felt a slight disconnect with the storyline in that area, as well as when she was describing different horse and riding terms that I'm unfamiliar with. That aside, I loved the characters and got lost in their stories. I read Riding Lessons ... Read More Rating:  - Flying ChangesI enjoyed the novel, the characters were real, it is a quick easy read, I have read Water for Elephants which is her 3rd novel and it is to die for but this one held my interest. Rating: - Changes And Dealing With ThemThis is a sequel to Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen. Annamarie Zimmer continues to be a passionate neurotic determined to sabotage her own happiness by impulsive behavior. There are changes in her. She is riding again, although not competing. She's rekindled a relationship with her old flame, the one she should have married in the first place. And she's getting her due comeuppance from her daughter, who wants to ride competitively. Reading a book like this is like getting a visit from ... Read More Rating: - Good yet annoying ..."Flying Changes" was a quick read that kept me turning the pages despite the fact that it annoyed me. The basic premise of the book was very good and the characters did have true=to=life idiosyncrasies, but I was annoyed by many of them. First of all, if Eva is irresponsible enough to gallop a one-eyed-horse over frozen ground and try to jump him, then WHY would her mother assume she's responsible enough to compete? Second, as another reviewer pointed out, brindled horses exist (AQHA, mustangs, ... Read More Rating:  - If there are more in the series, I won't be reading themI did not care for this book or the prequel. I felt like I was getting depressed, scattered and pathetic as I read the thoughts of the main character. As a horse loving adult, I will read any fiction I can find featuring horses that is aimed at adults but these two did not make my keep shelf! Browse for similar items by category:
