Valentino Laura Hesse

An abandoned horse. A faithful seeing-eye dog. A race against time as two desperate teens fight to survive on opposite sides of a desolate island. This heart-pounding adventure will leave you spell-bound.

Storm after storm batters the west coast. Maddie McNabb and August Pete have nowhere to run and no rescue in sight from the bitter driving winds and endless cold.

Maddie must rely on Sammy, her seeing-eye dog, until a horse walks out of the mist and guides her to shelter.

August awakens alone and lost, unsure if his father or grandfather survived, sending him on a spiritual journey, one that will push him to his physical and mental limits.

Determination, perseverance, hope, and friendship are the cornerstones of this story.

This story is dedicated to Will, the horse that got left behind!

This is the last book in The Holiday Series. It is a stand alone story.
