Julia Oliver Promotes Her Historical Romantic Novel DREAM OF THE WHITE STALLION

Author Julia Oliver has announced the promotion of her historical romantic novel, Dream of the White Stallion. This is an intriguing love story, spiritual journey, and coming-of-age tale set amid the historical beginnings of Thoroughbred racing in England.

Kathryn Alexander, writing in her personal journal, describes her coming of age while dealing with childhood bullies and a dying mother. She is a shy teenager living in 18th century England, the era when Thoroughbred racing and breeding became the rage among the aristocracy. She has always loved horses, and even though her Irish father is an exceptional, but nontraditional, equine trainer and healer, her humble working-class family could never afford one of the beautiful animals. Although a commoner herself, Kathryn secretly loves William Stanley, the handsome young viscount who shares her passion and affinity for horses. Kathryn and her father save a crippled, young foal and raise it only to have the filly stolen the night her father is killed. This horrific event spirals Kathryn into a nightmare of desperate destitution, destructive choices, and eventually a spiritual journey that will change her life forever. Will she solve the mystery of her father's murder, find forgiveness for her crushing guilt, and overcome the class differences that separate her from the man she loves?

Dream of the White Stallion is available for purchase in print and ebook formats.
