James Chase comes from the middle of the city. He wears a camouflage cap, jeans, and sneakers. Leon Hoover comes from the country. He and his four boys are Mennonites, dressed alike in straw hats and pants hitched up by suspenders. The Hoovers’ home has no electricity. They pump water by hand and read Bible verses by candlelight. But Mr. Chase and Mr. Hoover are friends. What do they have in common?
Horses!
