This is the fifth book in the series from Working Partners, creators of "Animal Ark". Heartland is a farm in Virginia, where physically and psychologically damaged horses are brought to be healed.

In "Come What May", Amy is stunned when Lou reveals that she has been in contact with their estranged father. Can Amy bring herself to meet him, after he abandoned the family so many years ago?

Amy is under pressure. Ty is still in the hospital - and still no-one knows if he'll recover. It's a waiting game, and it's wearing Amy down. She'd never realized how much she needed Ty, not only for his expertise with the horses, but also as a part of herself. Now a beautiful wild mustang has come to Heartland, and Amy can't get through to him. What would Ty do? And is that a question that will ever be answered...
