Cotton Fields and Thoroughbreds

This is a southern story of a young boy and girl who 'œborrow' a Thoroughbred racehorse in the middle of the night, breed him to a bag-of-bones mare, and eventually get to the Kentucky Derby with the progeny. Over a ten-year period they encounter memorable characters, deal with the bad guys that try to steal their horse, and have rollicking good times in the fields, woods, and rivers of the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Life's hard lessons are thrust upon them over the years, but with an undying love and faith in one another, they continue to persevere in the dream to win the biggest horse race of them all. Spanish moss and sweet-smelling honeysuckle, horse liniment and saddle soap, green pastures and white fences all combine in an array of emotions to build their spirit and guide them into the unknowns of the ever-changing world.Scarborough, David is the author of 'Cotton Fields and Thoroughbreds' with ISBN 9781413700930 and ISBN 1413700934.
