Seabiscuit

Author: Laura Hillenbrand

Hillenbrand’s masterful storytelling brings to life the unlikely tale of Seabiscuit, a crooked-legged racehorse that captured America’s heart during the Great Depression. With vivid detail and emotional depth, she weaves together the lives of the horse, his jockey, trainer, and owner, creating a riveting narrative that feels like you’re trackside. I found myself cheering for this underdog team, their triumphs and setbacks resonating long after the last page. A testament to the power of perseverance and the unbreakable bond between humans and animals.

His body was a symphony of bones, each one playing a different note.
