Christian Middle Grade
Loving foster home, main character long-term foster child helping a new foster-kid acclimate — written by a real life, loving foster parent.
Lots of excellent Disability representation: Wheelchair user, Blind girl, etc.
Full of love and hope!
Excellent horse info and facts!

Mildest be-aware: the blind girl uses hiding and eating excessive junk food as a coping mechanism — but as her emotions heal, her relationship with food does too!

[Charlie Dineen]

Revisiting horse books I read as a child…now as a former religion major the evangelism factor here is off the charts. Wild.

This book has a new title and cover: LEADING THE WAY. The book deals with a blind girl who wants to learn to barrel race a horse. Her parents are also separated, and she's become a resident at Keystone Stables riding academy and special needs home for the summer. Will the heroine, Skye Nicholson, be able to help Katie through all of her problems by showing her how to ride?
