Home: A Novel

Though Jules has spent her adult life bouncing from one farm to another, it never mattered: home was always where her horses were. But now, newly engaged and pregnant, she is yearning for a place she can truly call home. Alachua Eventing Co-Op once felt like that, but the co-op board is making Jules’ life difficult again, and her good friend (and professional rival) Kit seems destined to take Jules’ spot as head instructor. When Jules’ doctor forbids her from getting into the saddle until the baby comes, Jules has a full-blown existential crisis. Who is she if she’s not on horseback?

As Jules continues to put off her wedding planning and delay a decision about her future at the co-op, life begins to feel ever more unstable. Jules is approaching the biggest challenge she’s ever faced: motherhood. For the first time in Jules’ life, she can’t envision the future she wants. Can she make a life as a horsewoman and mother? And can she find a forever home for her family, or will she always feel like she’s wandering in search of something better?

In Natalie Keller Reinert’s beloved eight-book Eventing Series, we follow Jules and her friends through the joys and heartbreaks of the competitive eventing circuit, as they work their way into elite echelons—and into one another’s lives and hearts. Utterly immersive and propulsive, this series is an unforgettable journey for anyone who has ever fallen in love with horses, or humans.
