My personal Rating-
{ Add ½ star to a full star for those who like horses }
Our main
girl is twelve years old and loves horses in this book. Winnie lost her mom to
a car accident a couple years prior to the book starting and still feels guilt
over it all. I truly wanted to hug Winnie at many times, the poor thing! She
been through so much and was trying to talk to God again through this book. I
liked all the faith content for such a small book. I might just have to try out
the rest of the series since there’s such a unique cast of characters. :)
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
