Although she was initially bedazzled by Oz, Dorothy ultimately ended up deciding that “there is no place like home.” But things seemingly are different for the protagonist in Racing to Heaven. She strongly hints that the realm she travels to after she tumbles off a racehorse and is separated from her body is more miraculous than was the world she left behind her. Is it really? This novel allows the reader to decide what is true. And that, along with the magical horses that prance gracefully through it, is what makes Racing to Heaven both a thought-provoking and adventuresome read.

Once I began reading I didn't want to stop as I really began to have concern for the character, her lie/death. I would definitely recommend this story especially to teenage girls and those of us who love horses and realize their mystical qualities.Product details

Racing to Heaven edition by Harriet Tramer Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This was a well written story that goes in and out of reality. It wasn’t until the “Big Red” horse began to speak to the main character that I starting delving into the psyche of the character. There is an escapism factor within this novel that I enjoyed as it took me from my own life and let me dream a bit within these pages. Anything is possible.
I had the privilege of interviewing Harriet Tramer on my radio show, Broadcast Muse, and in hearing her speak of what to expect within the pages of “Racing to Heaven” it intrigued me greatly to pick up a copy. I was blessed enough that Harriet gave me a free copy for an honest review.
You will enjoy the woven words of Harriet Tramer’s “Racing to Heaven” book and be enraptured within the chapters as she transports you in and out of reality. Well done!
Racing to Heaven by Harriet Tramer is a different type of racetrack story. It's told from the point of view of a young female jockey who died while following her passion - galloping horses.
An unstable teen is sent to her aunt's ranch where she meets a chestnut stallion who communicates with her and teaches her how to ride - or is this a dream? Anyway, with Big Red as her constant companion, the girl "improves" her attitude and eventually she finds her way to the local track where she works with a young trainer and rides thoroughbreds in races. He puts her a "crazy" horses, which becomes her downfall.
Brenda (the reader doesn't learn her name until page 26) goes through a major physical and emotional transformation all because of Big Red.
This novel is part reality, part fantasy but the main character is likable and the writing style is as if you are reading her diary.
Here comes a book that you cannot put a type to. The author says and I quote "The book is what might be called magical realism". It revolves around a teenager named Brenda who seems almost totally out of control emotionally. Enter her own imagination or maybe it's magic quotient and you have a rather weird/odd story about flights of mental fantasy or as it is told from Brenda's point of view, real happenings.
This young girl paints herself as fat, un-athletic and a stumble bum but she, like the butterfly, eventually changes from an 180 pound girl to a 110 pound young lady with great athletic prowess. How you might say?? Yep. That is the question. Her dramatic change seems to have to do with an unusual horse she calls Big Red. She meets him at her Aunt's ranch. What happens next is a desire that a lot of young girls hold. This huge, highly excitable horse and she become buddies. She rides him.. he "talks" to her. They go all over the ranch together.. real? Or imagined. But it is the stuff little girls dream of to be sure.
She then moves on to riding at a local barn. This certainly seems possible but it doesn't stay in the typical form of reality I know. Midnight bike rides. Wild jumping sprees in the barn arena with nobody the wiser..dream? or magic.
As time progresses, Brenda lets go of a lot of the teenage anguish and tantrums of her younger self. Her parents are mentally "divorced" from her and she seems allowed to do as she pleases. She still has "conversations" with "Big Red" but only in her head. She ends up heading for a near-by race track where she makes the acquaintance of a young x-jocky who seems to be doing odd jobs and helping out new jockey's. Roberto befriends Brenda. Eventually teaches her how to ride a race horse. Finds horses for her to exercise. Then for her to ride in the races. OK.. dreamworld here. Again. None of this is possible at normal racetrack. You have to be over 16, you have to have a license. Owner's don't let 16 year old girls ride their racehorses… but in Brenda's world they do.
I am not at all sure what Harriet Tramer is trying to show us. Adolescent turmoil? What goes on behind those little girl eyes? The hormones of youth can cause some very unusual responses? Or that there can be unusual flights off fantasy behind adolescent actions. But whatever it is, I want to end up in the Heaven that Brenda goes to.
Once I began reading I didn't want to stop as I really began to have concern for the character, her lie/death. I would definitely recommend this story especially to teenage girls and those of us who love horses and realize their mystical qualities.
