A powerful novel about the spiritual bond between man and animal, Jack will touch
the hearts of all who have known love and loss.

Jack McKenna grows up in the fields of Devon in the timeless days before World War I. His constant companion is Bethlehem, a cream mare whom he nurtures from a foal and plans to buy. His dream of the two of them working together contains a promise: that his beloved Beth will meet the end of her days in a green pasture.

But when the Great War begins, Beth is requisitioned for the artillery. Bound by loyalty, Jack, now grown, leaves his young wife and takes his place on the Western Front, journeying from battery to battery in search of just one horse amoung thousands.

Through their separate--and united--trials, Jack and Bethlehem live the experiences of those who care about one another--even unto death.
