Williams paints an intimate portrait of a daughter desperately trying to find a place for herself in her father’s damaged heart.Ī medieval executioner’s daughter discovers that she can make choices about her own future, though the rewards may be equaled by the risks.’All Lily could remember when she got to the hill was looking up at the distant gallows and the roar of the crowd around her. This beautifully crafted novel explores a young girl’s struggle to find the truth behind her past and the courage to save her crumbling family. But then a stranger comes to town, and Mary Elizabeth finds that nothing is what it seems to be. Either way, she plans to run away and be free just like her ma, and just like the mysterious ghost stallion she watches for every night. Or maybe it’s because of something that happened a long time ago before Mary Elizabeth was born. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t look anything like Pa, with her long black hair and brown eyes. Since Ma ran off, Pa doesn’t pay much attention to Mary Elizabeth. He was flesh and bone, with blood running through him so wild that nobody tried to break him. I didn’t have no hope of seeing The Ghost Stallion but I looked anyway.
