Product Description

Skye and Morgan have their hands full trying to share God's love and the preciousness of life with Tanya Bell, an African-American girl and a runaway who becomes a foster child in the Chambers' household.

Although Tanya's adoptive parents are successful in business, Tanya is an obnoxious teen and veteran shoplifter. But when Southern Belle, one of the Keystone Stables' mares, dies giving birth to a foal, Tanya is transformed as she takes responsibility for the foal. Through her love for the foal and Skye's friendship, Tanya faces the problems in her life instead of running from them and turns to God to help her work through her past.

Publisher's Description

In the third book of the Keystone Stables series, perfect for girls who love horses and horse fiction, Skye faces a new challenge when a runaway girl becomes the newest foster child at the ranch—and soon becomes Skye’s nemesis as well.

Tanya Bell seems intent on making Skye’s life miserable. Even though Skye’s foster parents agreed to take Tanya in after she got caught shoplifting and ran away from home, the new girl seems more focused on causing fights and wreaking havoc in the barns than facing the reality of her situation. When one of the stable’s new mares arrives with a complicated pregnancy, Skye thinks she may have found a way to keep Tanya focused on something other than herself. But as the mare’s and foal’s lives become endangered, both Tanya and Skye face the test of their lives as they need to work together to overcome the challenges and surprises ahead.

Author/Artist Review

Author: Marsha Hubler
Located in: Middleburg, PA
Submitted: October 29, 2010

    Tell us a little about yourself.  I've always loved horses for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I dreamed of having a white stallion like a Lipizzan or a Golden Palomino like Roy Rogers' Trigger. When I was older, I was able to own some horses. They are God's most beautiful creatures.

    What was your motivation behind this project?  My motivation was to share Christ, His wonderful plan of salvation, and His love with my readers. I want them to know what a wonderful God we serve.

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  I pray that my readers will either accept Christ as their Savior or determine in their hearts to serve Him more faithfully.

    How were you personally impacted by working on this project?  For each Keystone Stables book that I wrote, I had to do research even though the books are fiction. For this particular book, I interviewed a veterinarian and was quite enthralled with the important information needed to help mares give birth, especially those that have trouble foaling.

    Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists?  My greatest influence is the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible. Some of my favorite authors are Nancy Rue, Richard Paul Evans, and authors of nonfiction helps books for Christians.

    Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know:  John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him."
