Anxiety rules Annemarie Zimmer's days—the fear that her relationship with the man she loves is growing stagnant; the fear that equestrian daughter Eva's dreams of Olympic glory will carry her far away from her mother . . . and into harm's way. For five months, Annemarie has struggled to make peace with her past. But if she cannot let go, the personal battles she has won and the heights she has achieved will have all been for naught.
It is a time of change at Maple Brook horse farm, when loves must be confronted head-on and fears must be saddled and broken. But it is an unanticipated tragedy that will most drastically alter the fragile world of one remarkable family—even as it flings open gates that have long confined them, enabling them all to finally ride headlong and free.

"Liking it! I think it's my favorite grown-up horse story. " — Dimsaha (4 out of 5 stars)
"Liking it! I think it's my favorite grown-up horse story. "
“Flying Changes reminds me how unpredictable life is…Even if you are horseless (my deepest sympathies), you will enjoy this novel.”
“Sara Gruen writes with passionate precision about horses and their humans and the healing power of love.”
“[Catherine Gaffney’s] performance is easy to listen to, with the true stars of the book being of the four-footed variety. Animal lovers will enjoy the descriptions of horses, dogs, and cats.”
" Liked Water for Elephants better "
" this is absolutly one of the best books i have ever read "
" Not my favorite of her books. It was kind of over the top in terms of drama. Still, I really like the way she writes and I will be on the lookout for her next one. "
" Not as good as Water for Elephants. I did not like the female lead character. Not planning to read the sequel. "
" Good book for young women. "
" I didn't like this book. The main character was annoying, whiny, and immature. "
" I could not wait to finish this book. The main character messed up her own life and the lives of everyone around her and consistently blamed everything - including her behavior - on everyone else. She was miserable to read about. "
" This was an ok read but I have at present more interesting reads and so I'm abandoning this one - time is precious! "
" If you love horses and you are older than 20 you will like the book. It does deal with a divorce, death, a teenager, and, of course, a horse or two. "
" Way to many things going on. Nothing really developed until almost the end. Didn't get to like the characters. I was surprised that I didn't like it more. "
" (see review for the sequel FLYING CHANGES) "
