Galloping Away
A Novel of Misadventure by the Characters
by LF Johnson


This is a first novel about a young girl's determination to overcome obstacles on her quest to join a pony club and acquire her own horse. Nicki's too perfect sister Karen hates horses. Her elegant Prussian mother from Muenster is emotionally disturbed by her tomboy daughter's interest in horses. When the family moves adjacent to a pony club, the unruly Nicki longs to join. Her mother fights to impose alien cultural values accepted by the older sister, but rejected by Nicki. This is more than a story about horses. It is a story about secrets discovered.
