Danny Solomon operates Break Away Acres, an equine therapy center for abused kids and teens. As a former abuse victim, Danny knows how important it is to let these kids know that someone still cares. God has blessed Danny with a gift: the ability to see the past of anyone who meets his eye. The information he is given through this gift allows him to know how he might best help those around him.
Phoenix Nichols is Danny’s new trail guide. Her job is to help with the horses and keep an eye on the kids. With a past more painful than anything Danny has ever encountered, he finds himself unable to resist trying to help. When her past becomes her present, her trust in Danny is the only link she has to finding God…and peace.

More from Tabitha

Danny and Phoenix are the main characters in Trial by Patience, but Danny isn’t a new character. As part of The Trials series, Danny is introduced in book 1 as a scrappy six-year-old. Two years after I finished writing book 1, he’s twenty-eight. (Don’t you love how time can be manipulated in the literary world.) Fun fact: When I wrote book 1: Trial by Courage, I had no idea Danny would get his own book. God works in mysterious ways and His sense of humor astounds me. I had a million ideas and half-started manuscripts littered my desk but I had no idea what to focus on next. Within two weeks of Trial by Courage’s release, three people asked me when Danny’s story would be ready. The first time, I blinked slowly and shrugged (I wasn’t about to tell them I had no intention of writing about Danny). Second time, I laughed. Third time, I knew it was an honest question and I started writing. A year later, I typed THE END, had an author copy printed and handed it over to my sister for proofing. Little did I know I wasn’t anywhere near finished. Danny’s story would NOT leave me alone. I was constantly trying to reassure myself that it was done, just minor adjustments…boy was I wrong! Six months ago, I realized I needed to change the ending, which lead to a complete rewrite of the last half of the book and major changes in the beginning chapters. Talk about scary, and exciting, but mostly scary. I even made another copy of the original script in case I changed my mind about this new ending. I shouldn’t have worried. I’m in love with this new copy and every angsty minute that went into making Trial by Patience the book it is today.

My Thoughts:

This was a new to me author so I wasn't sure what to expect, but as soon as I read the description I knew I'd enjoy this book so I jumped at the chance to request a review copy! Wow, what a great story! I enjoyed it from the very beginning. I instantly liked Phoenix and Danny, my heart broke for all that each of them had been through, they are survivors and it was beautiful to watch them strengthen and encourage each other, almost as if they instinctively knew exactly what the other needed to feel safe and to heal! I also have to say that I fell absolutely head over heels in love with Grant (Danny's younger brother) and I am so hoping that the author will write his story next, because I so want to read it! 

I am a lifelong horse lover and owner, so I know firsthand the magical healing power they possess, and how God uses them to heal and reach people that nothing else can, and so I was totally drawn in by the equine therapy aspect of the story, and it was absolutely phenomenal! I loved it SOOOO much and I was so happy to see that the author got all the equine details right, bravo! 

Overall, this is an awesome story that I loved reading and highly recommend! I look forward to reading more of this author's work in the future!

(5 Stars!)
