I loved this book, but think it should be reserved for readers over 12, as it has a lot of discussion of pregnancy. Specifically, of the heroine being born "too soon". The young girl is orphaned and finds out this "secret" from her mother's past when she is forced to live with an aunt. Great read, but better saved for teenagers!

I really liked this book. It was really emotional and you would think that it was a true story because it sounded so real. It really came from the heart.I would reccomend this book to anybody that likes horses.

The worst part of the book was the first chapter.Hariets mother had died from a wreck. she was riding her horse when suddenly a tractor and trailor came over a hill and hit her.In her mother's will Hariet's mother wrote for her to go live with her Aunt Sarah.She didn't like her Aunt.

The thing that was most vivid to me was the desription of the horses. She described them so well I could picture them in my head. I think the climax was when Hariet ran away from her Aunts house. Her Aunt had slapped her because they got in a fight. Hariet finally realized that they had to get along because she had no place to go.

Unbroken is about a girl and her colt who are orphaned soon after the story began. They are sent to live with stern, harsh aunt who doesn't speak too nicely about the girl's parents. The girl and her colt move on the farm with her aunt. She gradually begins to get used to her aunt and her ways but her aunt makes her ride on the colt, who is not yet broken in yet. Then the girl gets curious and finds secrets in the house (I won't tell you what) and also gets rebellious (And I won't tell you what she does, for you'll have to read to find out.) But over all, it was a great book!

Unbroken is about Harriet (Harry) and and Kid, (a horse) two orphans. Harry is sent to live with mean Aunt Sarah. Aunt Sarah talks badly about Harry's mother. Harry doesn't want to stay, but gradually gets used to the farm, and Aunt Sarah. Since school is too far away to walk, Harry tries her best to train Kid in time for school. I thougt this book was so awesome! This book is definitely a must read so read it!

Harriet's mother dies in a carriage wreck. Her father passed away when she was 2, so she has to go and live with her Aunt Sarah. Aunt Sarah never liked Harry or her mom. Dr.Vesper is surprised when her Aunt agrees to take her in. Harry takes an unbroken colt, her mothers sewing machine, and 2 carpet bags to her new home. Right away her and her aunt don't get along. The man who crashed into her mother paid for 3 years in the academy for Harry. So Harry has to teach her horse how to ride. Harry abuses her horse to where he hurts her badly. After that Aunt Sarah softens up and her and Harry get along. To find out more read the book. THE END!
