About the book:

It is 1993 in Dar es Salaam when two sheltered seven-year-old Tanzanian girls—one black, one white—meet outside the stall of an injured military horse. But what neither girl knows is that the horse’s wounds pale in comparison to the secrets and lies the girls’ parents have been entangled in for decades.

From the colorful streets of Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean through the savannahs and montane forests of East Africa, this compelling tale flows with mystery and revelation, love and violence, and faith and doubt to a haunting and unforgettable conclusion.
