Samantha's Journey

By Karen Bentley

Book Overview

Haunted by the past... Samantha McLean has a terrible scare when she sees Cindy, her adoptive sister, fall over Whitebrook's track rail during a workout. Cindy's accident is frighteningly similar to the one that caused Samantha's mother's death years earlier. Cindy's accident brings forth a flood of troubling memories for Samantha. She begins reliving the traumatic years which followed her mother's death--a difficult time when she and her father, Ian McLean, travelled aimlessly across the country in search of a place where they could rebuild their lives. Will Samantha rediscover happiness at Whitebrook farm? Or will she be tormented forever by the tragedies of her past? Read all the books in the Thoroughbred series and experience the thrill of riding and racing, along with Ashleigh Griffen, Samantha McLean, Cindy McLean and their beloved horses.

GGGGGGGGRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAAAT

I think this book was awesome! It took you into Sammy's mind and what really happened before she came to Towsend Acres! Also, you get to she how Tor perposed to Sam! I reccomed this book to everyone it really touches your heart!

Great book

Love the book but there is one thing I do not get. Why does Samantha's dad all the sudden expect her to stay away from horses when she has been around them all her life?? If anyone has any ideas on this Please email me. ...

Real Look at Samantha

This is the only TB super special book I have read. It really gives you a good look at Samantha's life before she came to Whitebrook (or Townsend Acres). I liked it because if there's Ashleigh books telling us about Ashliegh's childhood why can't there be a book telling us about Samantha's childhood. A MUST READ!

A Fantastic Book. You really get to know Samantha!

I think that this was an excellent book. It was a little sad but it teaches you that not all things involved with horses are perfect and there are some cruel people out there who treat their horse bad. This book also lets you really get to know Samantha. I found out a lot of stuff about her and her mother that I didn't know. I enjoyed this book, not only because it was informative and truthful, but because I thought it was well written and deserves a five-star-review. Keep up the good work. I just have one more thing to say. Why does it keep saying:Created by Joanna Campbell? I wish she would still write them. I mean, I love Karen Bentley too, but I think they should switch off, like every other book. Anyway, I would recommend this book to any Thouroghbred book fans.

Ohh, this one was good!

I loved this book. All but one person gave this book 5 stars and I do too! It was great and Sammy's always been my favorite (kinda with Ashleigh, too) and she's finally getting married to Tor! Did anyone else think that "Oh, Sammy. Kiss me." Was a little lame? Sorry, that's just my opinion. I could write forever, but I just got "The Horse Of Her Dreams" and I want to get reading!
