Publisher's Synopsis
When not helping my dad train our beautiful horses, my head was buried in books about kids my age. I relished every story of a young person's adventures, struggles and conquests. My heroines' victories ultimately led me to my own. Growing up in a family of very modest means, I joined the military to not only serve my country, but to gain access to the education I knew was, undoubtably, my only way of influencing young minds, like mine had been influenced all those years ago. With a master's degree in education and thirty years as a Language Arts/English teacher, I continued to bury my head in books that would help children reach the greatest potential possible in their young academic lives. To conclude, when my precious granddaughter began her near-impossible situation, I was well-prepared to tackle the adventure, as well as the heartbreaking struggle, knowing the end result would be a great conquest; all because of God's great glory and love/support of family!
