Book Review

Sonora by Jenni L. Walsh

Published by Harper Muse October 28, 2025

I grew up watching Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken and absolutely fell in love with Sonora's story. A young girl who becomes part of a high diving act on horseback. I couldn't even imagine what that might be like. Walsh did a beautiful job bringing Sonora to life in the pages of this book. From the thrilling moment she is chosen to join Dr. W. F. Carver's high diving act to the life altering accident that causes Sonora's retinas to detach, blinding her permanently, I was hooked.

Sonora's story will break your heart and put it back together again. Her courage, strength and resilience is beyond inspiring. The narrator did a wonderful job and I am so happy to relive the nostalgia, and heart wrenching story that first made me fall in love with horses.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this beautiful story
