White horses a novel

A powerful and haunting story about the seductive allure of fairy tales and the freedom that comes with waking up to reality. When Teresa sleeps--sometimes for days at a time, the scent of roses surrounding her--she dreams of the Arias, outlaw riders on white steeds, who roam the desert at night. She was told about the dark-eyed horsemen by her mother, Dina, who left her own bedroom window open at night in the hopes that one would take her away from her parents' house in Santa Fe. Teresa, who cannot find a cure for her mysterious sleeping sickness, has one true ally: her brother, Silver. Wild and handsome, Silver exerts an irresistible force over everyone he meets--women especially. He pursues a life of crime and danger, and the older he grows, the more reckless he becomes. Teresa wants to break free but is drawn back to her brother again and again, pulled by the belief that he is the night rider of her dreams. Only when she realizes that she has the strength to save herself will she finally be able to open her eyes and walk away.

  • "A novel about men, women, romance, and real life. When Teresa was a little girl, she went to sleep with dreams in her head--dreams of dark-eyed, fearless heroes on white horses who would sweep her away. The men her mother told her about were a special breed, and someday, Teresa vowed, she would find one of her own. But now, as the adult Teresa negotiates life and love, she begins to understand that fairy tales don't always come true--and that passion isn't always the stuff of dreams."

  • "The acclaimed author of such New York Times bestsellers as Here on Earth and Turtle Moon presents a " sexually charged...almost hypnotic" novel (Publishers Weekly) about men, women, romance, and real life. When Teresa was a little girl, she went to sleep with dreams in her head--dreams of dark-eyed, fearless heroes on white horses who would sweep her away. The men her mother told her about were a special breed, and someday, Teresa vowed, she would find one of her own. But now, as the adult Teresa negotiates life and love, she begins to understand that fairy tales don't always come true--and that passion isn't always the stuff of dreams. With this thought-provoking, powerful story, Alice Hoffman once again reveal herself as "one of out quirkiest and most interesting novelists." (Jane Smiley, USA Today)."
