"Laurie wonderfully weaves together elements of parental love, simple faith, hard work, and determination. This is an inspiring story for anyone needing an uplift and a reminder of how God can work." -- Ann Jenkerson Elementary Educator and Author of Yahoo, Dad!, Spur, Cadeau
Book Review 3:
"I really enjoyed reading this book. It is well-written and inspiring. Especially important to me was the loving relationship of Laurie with her parents. With so many dysfunctional homes in America, Laurie's home stands out as loving, nurturing, and accepting. Reading Laurie's story reminded me of those who treated me with kindness when I was a child and inspired me to treat others with more kindness." -- Dr. Frank Martin Author of Christian Character: Remade in the image of God, Transformed: Into Christ's Likeness
Book Review 4:
"Laurie Vance's book My Hundred Dollar Horse is a heartwarming tale about a young girl who, with faith, hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude are able to realize her dream. This autobiographical story exemplifies the leadership role Laurie took with her students. As her building principal, I witnessed Laurie encouraging students to set goals, make plans, and work hard to achieve them. Her book demonstrates her willingness to be a role model for all children. Her message to "never give up on a dream" is not one she simply sermonizes but one she personifies as well. My Hundred Dollar Horse is a story to be read by all young children." -- Valerie Brea, Associate Director Southwest Regional Education Cooperative and former Principal
