Why settle for fate when you can create your own destiny?
Molly Baird is a wealthy debutante in 1887 New York City, searching for love in a society riddled with hypocrisy and contradiction. After a series of social faux pas, her mother laments that Molly may be too awkward and lackluster to find a suitable husband. In desperation, Molly relies on an old wives' tale, which states that if she counts ninety-nine white horses, the next unmarried man to tip his hat to her will be the love of her life. But when fate delivers on the promise of the ninety-nine white horses and a young man tips his hat, she loses him in the crowds of a New York City street and supposes he is gone forever. However, her father's financial ruin takes her to live on a Vermont horse farm where she finds that fate has not deserted her, after all—only the man it has delivered is not the one she wants. Now, she must decide whether to accept fate's cruelly-dealt hand or to toss her cards to the wind and set out to forge her own destiny. Ninety-Nine White Horses is an eastern Western—without the guns.
