OLDER FICTION
Kendall, Christine

Riding Chance

(3) YA African American Philly teen Troy has been "messed up" since his mother's death. A program working with horses in a city park helps Troy find an unexpected sense of purpose. Vivid, lyrical language captures Troy's emotional connection to polo pony Chance and the sensory details of horseback riding. While sensitively tracing Troy's growth and healing, Kendall also addresses timely issues of racial discrimination.
