Sarah makes her author debut with Stories from the Barn Aisle. Always a storyteller and a bit of an adventurer, she finally decided to write her stories for the world to read. As a kid, her favorite books were from the Thoroughbred series, and the books inspired her to leave her home state of Mississippi to gallop racehorses in Kentucky while in college. Sarah is now settled down (which sounds more grown up than she feels) in Virginia with her husband, two kids, a horse, a dog, and a bearded dragon.

Our Annual Ride for a Cause is Back!

Her fight is my fight is written on a banner across a cartoon image of two horses and riders. The riders are holding hands high in victory Her fight is my fight!

Our annual Mary Kay Foundation Charity Trail Ride is fast approaching! This year we are celebrating our thirteenth year of hosting a horse-related event to raise money for cancers that affect women and domestic violence victims.

I had no idea what I was getting into with this one.

What a beautiful faith-based story of giving one’s life over to the Lord and loving the adventure even when it goes off the rails.

This is one I’ll recommend to others.

“I would have done just about anything to be part of this new world we had stumbled into. Maybe I didn't have the words for it yet, but I instinctually knew that the barn was safer, better, than home—an island in the middle of all the trouble that we couldn't escape otherwise. And I was determined to do anything I could to keep coming back.”

“just realized that I didn’t need to make everything so damned hard. My habit of standing”
Kareem Rosser, Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever

“Sometimes I liked to forget about the fact that Cholo was not really my horse. Sometimes I liked to imagine that he would be the first of my string of ponies. That someday I would ride him as I made the winning goal at nationals. That much later, he would retire to the greenest, lushest pasture on my farm, where maybe he'd teach my own kids to ride like Angel had taught me. I would visit him every day and bring him an apple and scratch his nose where it had gone gray.

Sometimes I just liked to imagine that someone—anyone— I loved could stay.”
Kareem Rosser, Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever

“Maybe he didn't realize it then, but David saved my life. He brought me to the horses, he showed me a world I never knew existed. He was the first person to lift me onto a pony. The first person to lead me around the ring. He opened the door that changed everything for me. He handed me the map that led me out of the same streets that would take his life so many years later.

When it came to his safety, David has always been fearless, reckless even. But when it came to me, his little brother, he didn't let me take a single chance. He delivered me to the best, safest place he could find, and then, as always, he slipped away.”
Kareem Rosser, Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever
