Book Description

Series: Sonrise Farm Series

Jenny Thomas is mad! Mad at her dad for moving from Northern Virginia. Mad at Daniel for not helping rescue Sunny and her colt, Fury, from his aunt s abuse. Mad at Mrs. DuBois for hurting the horses; and mad at herself for leading Mrs. DuBois to Sunny in the first place. A week on famous horse trainer Colton Wright s ranch produces amazing changes in the badly frightened Palomino and her colt. Colton s gentle methods work wonders. But Jenny s anger boils like white-hot lava in her stomach whenever she thinks of the people who hurt her. Can Jenny trust God to forgive and be free? A record-breaking jump, Sunny s reputation, and Jenny s relationship with God are all at stake when Jenny and her Palomino champion come face to face with their old enemy.

About the Author

Katy Pistole has lived most of her life as a nomad. Being the daughter of a Foreign Service Officer will do that to a person. Her growing up years were spent in Asia and Africa. Overseas, horses were plentiful and Katy spent most of her waking hours riding or reading or writing about horses. The Lord used my horse in Botswana to introduce me to Himself. By the time I graduated from J.E.B. Stuart High School in Falls Church, Virginia, I had attended thirteen different schools and written several books (never published). Katy received a BA in English Literature from George Mason University while training full time as a bicycle racer. She was the silver medallist for Virginia in 1984 and also qualified for the Pan Am Trials. She was offered a long-term substitute teaching position in 1987 in the Marshall Islands (where her Dad was the Ambassador) and accepted it. She returned to the U.S. and attended James Madison University where she received her post-graduate teaching certification in 1990. Horses came back into my life shortly after I married my long time cycling buddy, Chuck Pistole. We lived on Sonrise Farm until the birth of our first child in 1993. Many of Jenny s adventures came from my experiences there. The Pistole s currently own two horses and have had the joy of introducing their own daughter and son to horsemanship. Speaking about her Sonrise Farm books, Katy says, I believe these are God s books. He propelled me downstairs to the computer morning after morning. He has used my love for horses to reveal many misconceptions I had about Him. My passion in life is to allow Him to use these experiences to introduce and encourage children and adults to the grace and love of our incredible Lord.

This review is from: Flying High (Pistole, Katy, Sonrise Farm Series, Bk. 3.) (Paperback)

This book is book three in Sonrise Farms series. Book four is now available too (MORNING GLORY). This horse series is awesome. My nieces love them. The books are full of adventures about Jenny and her palomino horse that all girls 10-15 love. The stories are wholesome and have a morale lesson. They also offer a Christian perspective, which I appreciated. It is hard these days to find wholesome reading for kids.

Flying High is another wonderful book that my daughter couldn't put down. The story is exciting and educational. The characters are real to life people that we could identify with. It provides a great example for my daughter of loving family relationships and show how reliance on their faith can get them through any difficulty. My daughter has read all three in this series and asks often when the next book will be available.
