E
verything has always come easy for Swedish- born and American- raised Hank Oscarson. The Lexington, Kentucky thoroughbred breeder and Derby track veterinarians seems to have it all at the age of thirty- five. All but passion for anything other than horses and expanding his financial empire. Even Americas trail of blood and sacrifice by December 1944 fails to stir patriotism for his adopted country.
A half thought- out scheme to slip into Germanys East Prussia to retrieve a stallion and mare before one of the worlds finest all- around horse breeds vanishes results in Hank being ensnared in a massive refugee flight from attacking Russians.
He finds love, raw strength, and burning purpose in one of historys most dramatic and tragically attempted evacuations of women and children in the midst of war
