330 .. $a The story of a Dominican girl, the Anglo woman who introduces her to riding, and the
horse who changes everything for her. Velveteen Vargas is eleven years old, a Fresh
Air Fund kid from Brooklyn. Her host family is a couple in upstate New York--Ginger,
a failed artist and shakily recovered alcoholic, and her academic husband, Paul--who
wonder what it will mean to "make a difference" in such a contrived situation. The
story illuminates their shifting relationship with Velvet over several years, as well
as Velvet's encounter with the horses at the stable down the road--especially with
an abused, unruly mare called Fugly Girl. With strong supporting characters--Velvet's
abusive mother, an eccentric horse trainer, a charismatic older boy who awakens Velvet's
nascent passion--The Mare traces Velvet's journey between the vital, violent world
of the inner city and the world of the small-town stable.--From book jacket ; Velveteen
