Twins. Any horse breeder's worst nightmare. After a routine post-breeding sonogram confirmed a single embryo, Jessica Williams was shocked when her beloved mare gave birth to twins. Pregnant herself, and having recently moved to a larger home with an unfinished farm, Jessica is in no position to handle twins. When the twins contract a deadly blood infection, Jess must make an harrowing journey to get them to the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, the premier animal hospital in her area. Under the advice of a friend, Jessica creates a Facebook page for the colts that quickly reaches ten thousand followers and becomes an amazing community of hope and support. In the event that the twins survive, Jess will be faced with the painful decision of selling either her treasured Half Arabian foals or the miracle twins with whom she had been blessed. This beautifully written novel recounts the true story of survival of Majus and Majician, the twin Arabian colts known as The BOGO Colts. Against all odds they struggled to survive while their breeder struggled to find a way to keep them together. A story of hope, faith, and determination, A Heart Full of Hope will enchant readers of all ages and backgrounds. It boldly dares you to live your dreams.
I had never heard of the bogo twins before seeing this book. They are a set of Arabian horse twins. I also didn't realize just how rare that is. The story covers their birth and a following illness. I would have liked a little more leading up to the birth. Maybe even a little more after their illness. It's pretty amazing that not only did the author get through this difficult time but was able to keep the twins. Probably the best part to me were all the photos and screen shots of posts about them.
I loved it! I read almost half the book on the first night. I had to force myself to put it down! It is a wonderful and inspirational story and I recommend it for everyone! Thank you Jennifer!
I am actually reading a physical copy. Just bought it...just in time! She is pulling it off Amazon, re-editing it, and shopping it around to an agent. I hope she gets lucky, and someone picks it up. I've been following her and her twin colts since they got home from the hospital. Yay FB.
