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.

Finding the Good in a Bad Book Table

Most of us have been there. You spend hours preparing for an event, invest in inventory, block off your calendar, and line up help at home to cover responsibilities.

At the end of the day, you pack up nearly all the books you had set out in hopeful anticipation—frustrated, dejected, and probably with less cash than when you started (unless you thought ahead and brought your own food and drinks).

"Heart Wrenching & Heartwarming

This book was so full of turmoil and anxiety, but also hope and faith. I’m still bawling at that ending. It was also eye opening with God’s promises. I loved this read."

“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.”
― Kareem Rosser, Crossing the Line: A Fearless Team of Brothers and the Sport That Changed Their Lives Forever

“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
