In a world where a woman's future is decided for her, Anastasia Ambrose is determined to forge her own.
Northwest Indiana, 1860s.
When Anastasia Ambrose returns to her family's horse-breeding farm with a young daughter in her arms and a broken heart, she hopes to rebuild her life by carrying on the work her father left behind. Before his death in the Civil War, he had built a thriving horse and carriage business in town-and Anastasia intends to make his dream her own.
But she arrives home to discover that everything has changed.
Her mother has sold the business, and Anastasia finds herself trapped beneath the roof of a woman determined to dictate how she should live. With a child depending on her and few respectable opportunities available to a woman on her own, Anastasia refuses to surrender her independence.
Her search for work leads her to Vanatta & Sons Horse and Carriage Dealership, where she discovers more than a way to earn a living. Anastasia has inherited her father's instinct for horses-and perhaps his dream as well. She soon finds purpose in matching each horse with the person who needs it most, proving that she belongs in a business dominated by men.
Anastasia knows exactly what she wants: earn enough to leave her mother's home, provide a future for her daughter, and build a life that belongs entirely to her.
There's just one thing she hasn't planned for.
Love.
Set against the snowy farms and growing towns of post-Civil War Northwest Indiana, When Dealing with Horses is a historical novel about horses, family, independence, second chances, and a young woman determined to make a place for herself in a changing world.
