“A compelling coming of age narrative. Both insightful and heartfelt.”<\/h3>\n

Roni McFadden writes her life’s story as though it were a novel of a young girl set adrift in the California of the 1960s. She finds reprieve and peace on the back of her horse and tells her story in episodes with her inquisitive grandchildren gathered around during a family campout. Fatherless, McFadden credits the guiding hand of an older man who helps set her life aright. Fortunately for the reader, she has found the voice to tell us of her journey in a satisfying piece of writing. Let’s hope she will tell more stories.<\/p>\n

Worth Mentioning<\/h3>\n

These books were produced in part by LuckyCinda, therefore could not qualify for an award but are worth mentioning as both titles were a favorite among our judges. Of course, we recommend these books too.<\/p>\n
