Dreaming of Horses
by
Linda Hozdic
Written in first person, Kerry shares her dream of riding horses and takes us on her roller coaster journey. She introduces us to her parents and her younger sister, Jessica, and welcomes Mr. Judson who takes her under his wing at Aesop Stables. Later we meet Buckeye, a prized quarter horse, and Billy, a special fourteen year old boy. Kerry’s Christian family helps her cope with the shocking news when a friend’s mother dies. With prayers and determination she confronts jealousy that sneaks up on her, and the emotional upheaval of a first boyfriend. She’s strengthened by meeting the challenge of taking care of horses and earns the right to saddle up. A day with their veterinarian turns out to be one of the best days of her life.
Linda’s always enjoyed writing, but it became her second career after attending a workshop in 2006, sponsored by SCBWI (Society of Children Book Writers & Illustrators). Her first science picture book was published in December, 2015. One of her fondest memories was seeing Secretariat win the Kentucky Derby in 1973. When not writing or working as a nurse practitioner, she likes to cook, read, travel, and spend time with her family and friends. She has three married children and six extraordinary grandchildren.
