-----------------------------------------

In the still of a snow-covered morning in upstate New York, a girl


out riding her horse is hit by a 40-ton truck. Though horribly
injured, both thirteen-year-old Grace Maclean and her horse Pilgrim
survive. But the impact on their lives is devastating.

Grace is the only child of prominent New York magazine editor,


Annie Graves, and her lawyer husband Robert. In a way that none of
them at first understands, their destiny comes to depend on
Pilgrim's. So mutilated and traumatised is he that even the vet who
saved him wishes he hadn't. Annie refuses to have him put down,
sensing that if she does, something in Grace will die too.

Then Annie hears about a man called Tom Booker, a 'whisperer'


who is said to have the gift of healing troubled horses. Abandoning
her job, Annie sets off across the continent with Grace and Pilgrim
to find him. Under the massive Montana sky, all their lives are
changed for ever.
