From the publisher:
Jean-Philippe has one dream: to become a jockey. He was born on the family-owned stud farm, the same night Intriguing Belle gave birth to a filly, Storm. It is destiny: they will be a team! But a stormy night shatters his hopes. Storm, distraught, tramples the back of Jean-Philippe, who can no longer walk. He will have to do the impossible, to reconnect with his dream.
La description de l'éditeur:
Jean-Philippe n'a qu'un rêve : devenir jockey. Né dans le haras tenu par ses parents, le même soir que Belle-Intrigante, il a grandi à ses côtés, et n'est jamais aussi heureux qu'à cheval. Lorsqu'elle met au monde une pouliche, Tempête, il en est certain : elle deviendra un crack! Le crack qu'attendent ses parents depuis des années et qu'il montera. Mais un soir d'orage vient briser ses espoirs. Tempête, affolée, piétine le dos de Jean-Philippe, qui ne marchera plus. Il devra alors faire de l'impossible une réalité, pour renouer avec son rêve.
