The Stay the Distance Series
July Carter’s world is perfect from the back of a horse. From the ground, everything is a complete mess — her jockey mom ran off years ago and July’s certain she could come home at any moment. So certain she puts her life on pause, working with the racehorses after high school instead of preparing for college, like she’d planned. All to see a glimpse of her mother, maybe, one day.
Although she’s taught herself not to get attached, July can’t help connecting with Kali, a hopeless filly that refuses to run when it counts. July is determined to save Kali from the claiming races, although with bankruptcy rumors swirling the future looks more uncertain than ever.
July can’t stand losing one more thing, but when she finds herself facing what she wants the most she’s not sure what to do. Are you defined by what you have, or how you act? How can July have a future when all she can think about is the past?

"The mix of horses, a sweet love story, and family dynamics/drama kept me wanting more and I was sad to leave the characters after the last page." - 5-star review

"One of my favorite reads this year, I couldn't get enough of ALL HEART. This story goes to the heart of horse racing, to the men and women who give everything to their horses, and spend what they have left of their hearts on one another." - Natalie Keller Reinert
