Everything has always come easy for Swedish-born and American-raised Hank Oscarson. The Lexington, Kentucky thoroughbred breeder and derby track veterinarian seems to have it all at the age of thirty-five. All, but passion for anything other than horses and expanding his financial empire. Even America’s trail of blood and sacrifice by December, 1944 fails to stir patriotism for his adopted country.

He finds love, raw strength, and burning purpose in one of history’s most dramatic and tragic attempted evacuations of women and children in the midst of war. Only their courageous Trakehner horses can save them from being raped, murdered, frozen, drowned or starved before reaching the perceived security of the Reich or Allied Forces.
