Times are hard and people are fearful.\u003cbr\u003eBridie, like her mother before her, has a way with animals, especially horses. It's a gift; one which her father wants her to keep hidden. A gift the locals call witchcraft. A gift which comes at a price. A gift which can and will be exploited by the more powerful around her.\u003cbr\u003eBridie is an exceptionally skilled rider and catches the eye of the owner of a powerful English racing stable. Her skills could earn them a fortune and they are determined to have her, but women are not allowed to race.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a story of the Troubles in Ireland in the early 1900s, told through the eyes of the children who grew up immersed in it. It's a story of hardship, loss, and survival, but most of all, it's a story of family and love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45564778152087,"sku":"9798864347423","price":1727.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798864347423.webp?v=1767678810","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-home-straight-9798864347423","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
