Bookseller recommendation
“The story woven by James Patterson and Mike Lupica kept me on the edge of my seat. The drama that this family endures to fulfill their dreams keeps you wondering who to root for. I was drawn in completely with the complexity of life and competition, because neither one ever stops.”
— Natalie • Tattered Cover

Mother and daughter share a dream: to be the best horsewoman in the world.

Sky is Becky’s horse. A small, speedy Dutch warmblood.
Only James Patterson could bring you such breakneck speed, hair-raising thrills and spills.
Only hall of fame sportswriter Mike Lupica could make it all so real.

Reviews
“The Horsewoman is more than a thriller--it’s an eye-opening ride through the high-stakes world of equestrian show-jumping. Patterson and Lupica make a great team, writing at a full gallop and with faultless timing of the lives of three fearless women connected by blood, competition, and a passion for fast horses.”—Carl Hiaasen, bestselling author of Squeeze Me “Patterson and Lupica manage to get deep into the world of high-level show jumping and also, incredibly for two men, deep into the lives of three generations of strong women. I don’t know what’s more compelling—the white-knuckle descriptions of the horse shows in the lead-up to the Olympics or the tense, complex relationships among the three women. We grow to care deeply about these horsewomen. This is a hugely entertaining, riveting, page-turner of a book. A thrilling and thoughtful read.” —Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Chief Inspector Gamache series Expand reviews
