Ashleigh's Cristmas Miracle is the best TB-book EVER!!!! I cried every time i read this book!! Well, in the book Ash is expecting her first child right after the New Year! But on Cristmas Eve, a stallion's kick puts her life and the life of the her baby in jeopardy. In the hospital, Ashleigh dreams of her daughter's life without her. Will Ash live to see her daughter become a winner, or will her dreams for her daughter die with her?

I think this is DEFINATELY the best book since "A horse called Wonder." I mean, there were many great attempts but nothing like this. Joanna, you should write them all. You have The Talent. I also just read "Ashleigh's Diary" and that was wonderful. I almost cried like 5 times in both books. Keep writing them yourself Joanna!

At first I didn't really get this book. I mean, in the prologue Ashleigh's like in a coma or something and no one's sure whether she'll live or die. Then the entire story takes place as if she dies, but then in the end it says she lives. I didn't really get it. But then I figured out the whole story was about how everything would have played out if Ashleigh had died. How her daughter, Christina, goes on to be a great Eventer and win second in the Rolex and so on. It's a bit confusing, but after I read it for the second time I understood how the book worked.

I have read every book up to #38 3 times each! I love these books soooooo much. This book was a great book explaining about Christina's,Ashley's baby, life as she gets older. When i read it I thought Ashley really dies and that was the end of it! THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK, but my favorite book so far was Star In Danger

Naturally, all of the THOROUGHBRED books written by Joanna Campbell are wonderful, but this was one of the best. It left me in suspense, and was very emotional and detailed. I could relate to the characters' feelings completely because the author described how they felt using the perfect words. This book really had an effect on me. I love horses, riding, and this series! As for the person from Ohio, Cindy and Glory aren't in this book because it was published before the first Cindy book came out(this book came out in 1994 where as SHINING'S ORPHAN came out in 1995). I hope that clears things up. JOANNA, THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

I loved this book, just like all the other ones, but it was really weird how they had all this stuff that was a dream and never really happened! It sorta gives you a fake idea of what will come. But dont get me wrong I loved the book and the story line was really cool. I absolutly love Jazz Godess! She was like almost one of those perfect horses! Except when she crushed Christinas leg, but she went on to come in second or third in the Rolex, and that might not have happened if her leg didn't motivate her! So, this was a great book, if a bit werid.

I really injoyed this book.It made me cry when Christina was thinking about how she felt empty without Ashleigh.I loved Triumph! that pony rules!I also like Jazz Goddess.It made me sad when Chris got hurt.I have my own thoroughbred and have the same dream as Cristina.To get September(Jazz in her words) to be as good as eventing as Ashleigh was at Racing

I loved this book. It showed how much Mike cares about Ashleigh, and how much Ashleigh loves Christina, and you can "feel" Christina's pain about not having Ash. I liked the dream, it was really cool. I cried, laughed, was angry, confused, and felt bad during this book because it felt like you were there and actually took part. Like you could imagine everything happening. Lotsa details and stuff which is cool. I think Christina could be a little bit more like Ashleigh in the rest of the books, but it's cool. I liked all the Eventing stuff that they had, but was glad that they went back to racing which is what they started out with and that's what got people hooked. What I found interesting is that in Ash's dream there's Ross Townsend who is a total JERK, but in "real life" it's Parker and he's really cool. He's especially cool because he puts up with Brad & Lavina. But anyway, Yeah, I totally love this book and I read it all the time.

First of all I LOVE Thoroughbred books! They have more interesting characters and exciting books than other horse seris that can drag on and on! I just finished this book yestering for like the 2nd time and I love it still! I don't know people say Christina is a snob I think is very cool but she does exstarate alittle like Cindy but she one of my favorite characters! I don't feel that all the changing authors etc. a messing the seris, but I hadn't been reading of the newer books yet so my opinion could change. One thing I have been noticing though is the newer book covers, the older ones are so beautiful an represent the horses and characters perfectly. The newer ones I noticed look like last minute hurried decsions and not relating to the book. I would really like better covers like the older ones! I rate this book a 5 because it is so very interesting and fun to read and also the cover is beautifuly fits in with the story :)

I loved it. I thought chris's rival with ross was going to get better. I cried at the part when Chris was in the hospital and Ashliegh told chris not to give up.in some parts it was funny. they even included some races. i was an awesome book
