Review Excerpt:

"Daniel, or “Paddy,” a 15-year-old indentured servant, has been through a lot in his short life: immigration from Ireland to America, subsistence farming with his family, and a tragic fire that left him an orphan....Daniel’s love of horses promotes both his downfall and redemption in the heroic climax of this engaging story."
