Whispering Hope by Marsha Hubler

In the seventh book of the Keystone Stables series, perfect for girls who love horses and horse fiction, foster child Skye gets more than she bargained for when the two newest arrivals to the ranch are a half-wild Mustang and a former gang member who may be just as uncontrollable.

While at a major horse show, Skye gets the biggest shock of her life: a surprise encounter with a switchblade-wielding teenager named Wanda. Before long, Skye’s foster parents decide to bring Wanda  to Keystone Stables as a foster child—and when they also purchase an out-of-control Mustang named Rebel, she can only wonder if they’ve lost their minds. But as Skye practices the gentle art of horse whispering with Rebel, she discovers a key that just might open up Wanda’s fearful, lonely heart to the healing power of God’s love.
