AUTHORS NOTE and GLOSSARY

Katara, 17, has had it rough. The only thing that keeps her going is the simple things in her life: her barn, her horses, and the kids she teaches to ride horses. If there's anything that she's learnt over the years, it's that you can't trust anyone; only yourself. When her father hires a farmhand, Zuko, 18, she's forced to trust him with what she values most in her life, the only stable thing throughout her years. She promised herself, no feelings, no trust. But what will she do when her heart betrays her? Only a summer's time will tell.
