Anxiety rules Annemarie Zimmer's days—the fear that her relationship with the man she loves is growing stagnant; the fear that equestrian daughter Eva's dreams of Olympic glory will carry her far away from her mother . . . and into harm's way. For five months, Annemarie has struggled to make peace with her past. But if she cannot let go, the personal battles she has won and the heights she has achieved will have all been for naught.

It is a time of change at Maple Brook horse farm, when loves must be confronted head-on and fears must be saddled and broken. But it is an unanticipated tragedy that will most drastically alter the fragile world of one remarkable family—even as it flings open gates that have long confined them, enabling them all to finally ride headlong and free.

Sequel -
I didn't think that I'd like Sara Gruen's Riding Lessons or Flying Changes, but wanted to read them after reading Water for Elephants. However, the storyline told in these two books was very intriguing. I found myself wanting more after finishing Flying Changes. I wish there would be a third book, or a movie made from these books.

Water for Elephant lover -
I read Riding Lessons and Flying Changes because I was interested in Sara Gruen's other books after reading Water for Elephants.

As stated in my Riding Lessons review, I can't give these books 5 stars because I'm not a horse person and felt a slight disconnect with the storyline in that area, as well as when she was describing different horse and riding terms that I'm unfamiliar with.

That aside, I loved the characters and got lost in their stories. I read Riding Lessons in less than two days and hungrily craved every chance I could sneak a chapter or two of Flying Changes during busy holiday traveling. The storylines take dips and turns you aren't expecting, all while keeping you right in the character's head and emotions. They're really great stories and like Water for Elephants, ones I'd revisit again in the future when I start to miss the characters, as I sometimes do after great novels.

Flying Changes -
I enjoyed the novel, the characters were real, it is a quick easy read, I have read Water for Elephants which is her 3rd novel and it is to die for but this one held my interest.

Changes And Dealing With Them -
This is a sequel to Riding Lessons by Sara Gruen. Annamarie Zimmer continues to be a passionate neurotic determined to sabotage her own happiness by impulsive behavior. There are changes in her. She is riding again, although not competing. She's rekindled a relationship with her old flame, the one she should have married in the first place. And she's getting her due comeuppance from her daughter, who wants to ride competitively.

Reading a book like this is like getting a visit from the nutty relative that no one can stand. There is a dreadful awfulness, for example, in the scene at the fancy restaurant where Annamarie storms out on her boyfriend and yet, if the reader can cultivate a certain detachment, it is mighty entertaining.
