Michael is twelve years old and has never known anything but foster homes in inner-city Detroit. When relatives are located in a small Tennessee town, he is sent to live with them. Hurt and angry, feeling that no one wants him, Michael strikes out at a lonely horse in a back pasture. Little did he know that it was a champion barrel-racing horse. Sparks Twister Doc was the kind of barrel horse all barrel racers hoped to have, yet he was hated by his owner and sentenced to a far back pasture to live out his days.
Running for Home is a horse story for the whole family. A homeless boy and a forgotten horse are brought together by an act of anger. Though wary of each other at first, they form a bond of love and trust that yields miraculous results. Join them as they go on a journey that is filled with fun, compelling characters, both animal and human, to complete a quest only a homeless boy and a hopeless horse can accomplish.
