Go along with Rahina as she journeys through lands of magical encounters, mythical creatures, and unsuspected betrayals.

Faced with the impending death of the woman who raised her, eighteen-year-old Rahina has no idea how she can help. She has been happy creating art in her simple world. Then she makes a discovery that upends everything she thought she knew about herself. Rahina reluctantly embarks on a journey to retrieve rare healing herbs. She traverses a lethal land filled with grotesque predators and murderous plants. Her survival depends on creativity, developing relationships, practicing skills, and her newly discovered identity. She learns about her secret heritage when she meets new friends who teach her to ride flying racehorses, a skill that saves her life and takes her home. Wherever that might be.

Strewn with dark moments and terrible struggles, The Go-Ahead is ultimately a feel-good novel about one young woman’s quest to discover who she is.

Author Jane Marie Allen Farmer uses her expertise in horsemanship, dog handling, and environmentalism to create a believable fantastical world.
