内容简介

Maya is a captive. In Grandmother's house in California, she is forbidden from playing or having friends, every word and action is strictly monitored, and even her memories of her mother have been erased -- except within the imaginary world she has created. A world away, in the rugged Wyoming wilderness, a tobiano Paint horse called Artemisia runs free, belonging only to the stars. The mother of a new foal and the lead mare of a harem band in a land where survival is precarious, she embodies the spirit of the wild-and she holds the key to Maya's memories. How Maya's and Artemisia's live ABOUT THIS BOOK: Ryan has seen the wild horses. On one of several research rides for this book, she spent eight days in southwestern Wyoming. There, she slept in a tepee on the banks of the Sweetwater River, rode long days in the saddle, and tracked a harem band near the Honeycomb Buttes. PRAISE FOR PAM MUNOZ RYAN: "Told in a lyrical, fairy tale-like style....Ryan fluidly juxtaposes world events with one family's will to survive."--Publishers Weekly, starred review, ESPERANZA RISING En la casa de su abuela, en California, le tienen prohibido jugar o tener amigos; todo lo que hace esta estrictamente supervisado y han borrado todo aquello que le recordaba a su madre, excepto el mundo imaginario que ella ha creado. En un mundo muy lejano al de Maya, en Wyoming, una yegua llamada Artemisia cabalga libre bajo las estrellas. Acaba de parir un potro y es la yegua lider de una manada de caballos. Pero Artemisia, ademas, tiene la llave que puede abrir los recuerdos de Maya.
