Product Description

"Suddenly a flash of light, bright as the sun, and a crash of thunder struck together. The windows rattled. Matthew felt the bed shake. Still the white light held. Luke was sitting up; Matthew could see him. Then the darkness came back."

When a storm brings ruin to their small farm, Matthew watches his father's steadfast trust in God and determines to do his best to help the family. He can't bear to think that Dolly, one of their faithful workhorses, might have to be sold.

Matthew takes a risk and makes a sacrifice so that the team can enter the horse pull at the county fair. But to win the prize money, they will have to pull better than Bailey's huge grays. It's all up to Ben and Dolly now.

About the Author

Growing up in Pennsylvania, Dawn Watkins saw horses still used occasionally for logging, and she has long admired the big horses and their work. She often attended horse pulls, preferring that entertainment to any other offered at county fairs and festivals. She drew on one particularly thrilling event to write the conclusion for this book.

Miss Watkins currently teaches writing at Bob Jones University and writes textbooks at Bob Jones University Press. She is the author of several stories and books for children and recently, a two-volume historical novel for teens.
