<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: medium;">Estelle and Glenda's book was heartwarming and at times brought tears. Animals bring us such love, joy, and hope. Page 85 brought a smile to my face. There is nothing quite like sitting upon a horse and being carried forward. When trust is developed, a horse will allow you to climb upon its back and accept your guidance willingly. There is a miracle that happens when you put your foot in the stirrup and a horse allows you to sit upon its back. The writers took me back to fond memories of all the incredible animals in my life.---<i>Diane</i></span><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><i> </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">The stories in this book are treasures, if for no other reason than their candid, colloquial narrative styles, and their deceptive, offhand images that give rise to the substance and depth of emotional experiences. It takes not only a skilled writer, but a finely sensitive person to write like these authors do. I think they have managed a difficult job with flying colors</span></span><span>.---<i>Gene H</i></span></span></div>
