Review Quotes

Warm. Authentic. Wholesome. Christian. And, very horsey! What more could you ask from a book about young ladies and their ponies for young people who love their horses or who want to vicariously experience a right relationship with both horses, friends, and family. Carrie and Bandit is a wonderful childrens book. It's the story of a young girl looking for love, a horse and her God. Each chapter includes family, friendships, problem solving and of course the ability to see God moving circumstances for the best of one of His children. The role the grandmother plays in this book is nothing less than inspiring. Ms Watson made the unusual effort to include extended family members as characters in her book and I believe it has worked well for her.

About the Author

My love of horses began when a neighbor offered me my first ride behind her on her palomino Quarter Horse. From my 8-year-old perspective, he seemed like the biggest horse in the world. From that moment on, I was hooked. Horses were to become a very important part of my life, although I never could have imagined, at the time, how much God would teach me about Himself and my relationship to Him through these wonderful animals.
