Editorial Reviews

Product Description
After a summer-long losing streak, sixteen-year-old Trisha Evanston is ready to give up racing. Once the winner of the Triple Crown, not it seems her desire for racing died along with her father, and no amount of tears will bring either of them back. Trish decides that if she doesn't win Firefly's last race, she will quit the racing scene altogether and go home.

Trish's sympathetic chemistry tutor offers to help but Trish is caught off-guard when his solution is a handful of pills. Trish shoves them into her purse. The drugs seem like they'd be such an easy way out of her darkness. Richard promised they would make her feel better but at what price?

Will Trish ever find the peace her father knew?

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of the mist of grief, Trisha learns more about herself, January 9, 2001

By	Sel (Tacoma, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Out of the Mist (Golden Filly) (Library Binding)

Trisha has finally accomplished all she dreamed of, and lost the one thing that could tear her apart. After her father died she stays with friends in California to race, and take a summer school class in chemistry. Trisha is so lock up in her grieve, lost in her faith and struggling to make sense of her life that she takes chances and makes some bad decisions. This book is an excellent example of the trial and tribulations that occur when someone you hold very dear to you heart dies, and how one comes to heal the wounds of their heart and the wounds of their soul. Trisha is a wonderful charater, in a series that makes you laugh, cry, and wonder at the strenght in one girl.

A Kid's Review

I really enjoyed this book, and all the other Golden Filly Series. This book was unique because Trish isn't perfect, and niether is her life. Most other books go on and on about the perfect lives of young people, but this book was different. It's about a teen aged girl named Trish, who hasn't had it easy. I think the moral of this story was that Trish came "Out of the Mist" of a terribly broken heart that is on the way to the healing process, which will make Trish a better, and stronger person. This was an awesome book!! I recommend that you read the previous books in this series!!
