Nineteen-year-old Stella must overcome her fear of horses to save her reputation as a Grove Station Farms riding instructor.
***
Stella does not believe she will return to the saddle, but that doesn't mean she still feels connected with the farm where she teaches. To save her reputation and regain her confidence, she has to get on the farm's newest steed, Monkey.
Monkey, a horse like none other, senses Stella's fear and does everything he can to help her regain her confidence, even though he occasionally acts out and bites. That does not mean he wants to hurt the birthday girl. The greatest gift he can give her is a lesson that changes everything she knows about riding.
While Stella wishes to win her battle, she can't do it alone and fears she'll fall again. Curses will become blessings, but that's after she puts enough work into her goal.
With Monkey's help, Stella needs to open the door to the life she once had, even if it means putting up with her sarcastic student, Maise, and learning that sometimes the best way to overcome fear is to fight fear itself.

|7X FEATURED · SPOLIGHT STORY|
Saddened by her lonely life, a little girl named Victoria Christie uses her inventive imagination to write stories. Now that she's an older individual, she must find a way to share her tale with the world.
***
Victoria Christie never expected to be a writer, but everything changed in 4th grade when she annoyed her mother at a barber shop. She told Victoria to write in her school notebook, which sparked her daughter's life-long passion for writing.
Now, many years later, Victoria is eager to share her story-through an interactive novel that showcases how her writing has changed overtime and what hardships she faced in order to keep her island of personality-especially after her brother's unfortunate death in 2021.
With the power of writing and her brother's legacy about her becoming a successful author, will Victoria's old stories spark the interest of an audience? Will they interact with her and tell her how her incomplete pieces should end, or will Victoria forever remain an undiscovered author?
This is an anthology of my old stories. Most are incomplete, so it's up to my audience to decide how they should end. This is the story of how I became Viktoria Fyodorova.
Let the cringe begin!
