       Acknowledgments

      There are far too many friends who encouraged and supported me to list.

      There are a few who deserve recognition.

      Donna Backes has been a true friend in proofreading my work brutally. I do appreciate her efforts and encouragement.

      Dede Hammond organized our writing group and has been a faithful encourager. I appreciate her more than I can express and apologize to her for playing such lousy golf with her.

      My sisters, Ellen Cooley and Bonnie Rutherford have always been true friends as well as sisters. They have cared for me and encouraged me all my life.

      My daughter, Verta Lynn, is the best daughter in the world. She thinks whatever I do is great and loves me unconditionally.

      I love all the people who have worked with me in the school teaching and my horse work. I have some great memories of the heart of the horses and other animals with which I’ve worked. My Cherokee Challenge (on the cover) is the great grandson of Man O’ War and was as near human as a horse can get. He proved his love for me in many ways and many times.

      Last, but far from least, all the people in my church who cared and laughed with me. Peggy and Dennis Kissinger were two who sincerely took an interest and encouraged me.

      Thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. I am so blessed.

       Prologue

      Squirming to relieve her aching back, Sharon continued her drive from San Antonio, Texas to Zephyrhills, Florida. What a way to spend her twenty-first birthday. A new widow, hurt, confused and a tiny bit afraid of her life ahead, she drove bravely on.

      I can remember Grandmother McGregor saying, ‘When you find yourself knocked to your knees, you’re in a good position to pray.’ She smiled to herself as she remembered her lovable, feisty Scots Grandmother. Her beloved maternal grandmother had died four years before and was still missed. I’ve sure been knocked to my knees a lot the past few months, and I’ve prayed a lot, but I still am not sure that I’m making the right decision. Guess I’ll just have to keep on keeping on and have a lot of faith
