This is a Novel based on true facts. It was written because I had no voice during the times I wanted and needed to be heard. I prayed and pondered in my mind on how I could let my voice be heard, to be a help to my family and my children.

In August of 1888, Anna Mae Hill is gifted a horse by her grandmother, Mary. Anna Mae hates the old gentle gelding named Buckshot. Buckshot, on the other hand, thinks Anna Mae is the child's mother, who has returned to take care of him. The lovelorn horse vies for Anna Mae's affection, only to be repeatedly rebuffed by the child. An incident on the first day of school, however, changes everything.

The horse's mission, as Anna Mae will discover, is to unleash the greatest power entrusted to her by God. A power greater than anything man can muster, and entrusted to all humanity. The power of love.
