A Girl and Five Brave Horses is the story of Sonora Carver and was the basis for the movie Wild Hearts Can't be Broken. Carver answered the following want ad: Wanted: Attractive young woman who can swim and dive. Likes horses, desires to travel. See Dr. W. F. Carver, Savannah Hotel. From there she became the first woman to jump from forty and sixty feet into a pool of water with diving horses. Carver was blinded during a jump as a result of hitting the water off balance and detaching both of her retinas. Despite this she continued to jump for another eleven years. An amazing and inspiring story. Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order.

I loved the movie Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. When I learned the movie was based on the true accounts of Sonora Carver I had to read it. It seems the only thing the movie had right was she rode diving horses, she went blind, and she continued after. If you loved the movie I would recommend reading the book. I loved the details you learn about the horses as well.
