I was very hesitant to delve into [b:Racing Savannah|16045296|Racing Savannah|Miranda Kenneally|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1355754017s/16045296.jpg|21823562] because [b:Things I Can't Forget|12551082|Things I Can't Forget (Hundred Oaks, #3)|Miranda Kenneally|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1343855583s/12551082.jpg|17552651], the third book in the Hundred Oaks series, was such a let down. However, once I heard that there were horses involved, I couldn’t resist!

I have nothing against religion but the sports aspect of this series is what drew me in and kept me reading. (Sorry, [b:Things I Can't Forget|12551082|Things I Can't Forget (Hundred Oaks, #3)|Miranda Kenneally|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1343855583s/12551082.jpg|17552651]).
♘ I can relate to Savannah; in this economic climate, I think many girls will be able to empathize with her story too. I know what it feels like to not have a lot growing up. I also know what it’s like to want better for yourself even if it seems like the odds are stacked against you. Seeing Savannah try to invest in her future was inspiring and struck close to home.
♘ Racing Savannah was a fun read and a learning experience. I can’t remember reading a book about horse back riding or jockeying in such a competitive light. The sports themed books that I come across are usually about football, soccer, hockey, swimming, or running. I definitely appreciated learning about a new sport.
