Untamed

The compelling first sequel to UNbridled is another unforgettable novel about fleeting youth-the second in a trilogy-after three boys discover a tragic suicide. Their lives become powerful exposes of today's youth and the social problems they face. Danny Salvaggio fights wild fires in the mountains of Montana and Wyoming. He sets the stakes especially high by carrying a secret deep in his untamed heart. He's aware that he is different, but fear drives his decision to hide out with the toughest and strongest of men, while shame causes him to deny his realized homosexuality. One Australian firefighter gives up his life to rescue a young yearling in a dramatic barn fire. No longer of use to the successful polo pony breeding operation, the traumatized horse bonds with Danny who seeks special training for the horse. The horse becomes the catalyst in an unusual string of tragic events stemming from shame, deceit and prejudice in the tough world of firefighters.
