Skye has been a foster girl as long as she can remember, and although she yearns to know something about her birth parents, there is no information available that tells her anything about her biological family. But while on a trip to South Carolina for a horse competition, Skye, by chance, meets an aunt she never knew she had, and Skye's quest to discover her roots begins. As her quest comes to completion, Skye gets the surprise of her life.

Summary

In the eighth and final book of the Keystone Stables series, perfect for girls who love horses and horse fiction, foster child Skye must confront her past and decide her future when she has the opportunity to find her birth parents and possibly reunite.
On a trip to South Carolina with her foster family, Skye gets the shock of her life when the waitress at a local diner seems to recognize her. The woman proves to be Skye’s long-lost Aunt Millie—the first blood relative Skye has ever met. As Skye and Mom and Dad Chambers attempt to track down Skye’s birth parents with Millie’s help, Skye’s foster sister and best friend, Morgan, struggles with her own family regrets. As the secrets of both Skye’s and Morgan’s lives are revealed, it becomes clear more is at stake than anyone can imagine—and both girls have a big decision to make.
