Though both seriously injured, 13-year-old Grace and her beautiful horse, Pilgrim, are saved. But the accident has devastating consequences: Grace, impaired in risk, loses all interest in life and withdraws into a hostile, stubborn silence. Pilgrim, under-closed") in a dark ie sinqutearliednotiboc . rgi x of a country stable, he seems to be in the throes of a dark madness and is so dangerous that the vets would like to put him down. Grace is the only daughter of Robert Macle, a well-known New York lawyer, and Annie Graves, a brilliant, unscrupulous career woman, editor-in-chief of a very popular magazine.Her life totally dedicated to work - less to affections and to the family - it is at a turning point, after her daughter's accident. Dimly at first, but distinctly then, Annie feels that Grace's fate is mysteriously linked to that of her beloved horse and that, if Pilgrim dies, something will inexorably die in the girl too. He therefore refuses to have it shot down and decides to act. Documenting himself in the library, he discovers that in ancient times there were sorcerers and swarms who tamed wild horses by murmuring secret words to them. He then learns that in the West , on a farm in Montana, lives a sort of healer - Tom Booker - who somehow inherited that "gift". Booker is a man who almost seems not to belong to his time: accustomed to the hard life of farmers, from the relationship with horses, which he knows deeply, he has perhaps drawn greater satisfaction than from friendship with human beings . Certain that he is the only person in the world who can heal Pilgrim and thus help Grace as well, Annie crosses the continent with both of them. bi to get him to take care of the animal.
