Letter to Sarah and Other Stories
consists of five stories, three of which share a horsey theme, including the titular one. "Letter to Sarah" is also a romance, although the protagonist is not a part of that. A gutsy main character in "The Lucky Girl" proves having pluckiness can save you from the unwanted fate of sexual assault or worse, and she was in the unfortunate situation thanks to her love of
horses and riding, of all things. In "No One Winner," a grandmother "tolerates" the county fair
atmosphere, so she can watch her granddaughter compete on her horse, proving dedication to family can prevail, even for a snoot. Not only that, Grandma saves the day for her granddaughter. "Party Time- Not!" involves a mother who mistakenly believes she raised her daughter well, but she in fact raised a monster, in no small part thanks to the company the daughter keeps. The mother in "Mother Knows Best" feels burdened by having to raise her daughter single-handedly, despite being married. Following a shoplifting incident by her daughter, the mother realizes it's imperative to step up more as a mother, so both receive a reality check.
