Corinne Joy Brown

This is such a lovely book and even though it is written for ages 9-12, it's one that all ages will enjoy. Finding Home features the thoughts of two "girls", thirteen-year-old Jesse Nolan and a three-year-old filly, a wild horse named Curly Girl. They both have suffered separation from their families and finding each other offers them the chance to bond and to mend. As Jesse works to prove that she is trustworthy and capable of owning a horse, Curly Girl learns to trust this young girl caring for her, and they both are given the gifts of love, acceptance, and family.

Finding Home is a wonderful story for young horse lovers who yearn for their own horse but it also speaks to those who are struggling with family issues or the pressures of growing up. Author Corinne Joy Brown eloquently shares the plight of the wild horses that still roam our western United States and the illustrations by Ginny McDonald are both beautiful and powerful! I highly recommend this heartwarming story!

I received a complimentary copy of this book but I was in no way obligated to write a positive review. These are my own thoughts.… (mer)
