- Synopsis
- When I got to Merry Jo's stall, I called her name and quietly slid back the stall door. She was lying in the deep straw covering the floor of the stall, wall to wall. One quick look made me pretty sure her baby was coming. I drew close to her flanks. They were quivering slightly. As I watched, a tiny hoof came out of the mare's body. So far, so good. In seconds the other hoof appeared, then a little nose resting on a foreleg. Things were going all right. When Melinda Ross slips out of the house and into the barn early one morning, she helps deliver the most beautiful red-brown filly she's ever seen, Little Missy. This is the beginning of Melinda's twelfth summer, when it seems that nothing can go wrong--until everything does. Melinda's practical and knowing friend Diana helps her cope with family secrets and a well-meaning grandmother. Melinda, meanwhile, has her eye on Diana's handsome older brother, Dwight. But it is Little Missy who wins her heart, blossoming into a class Morgan with Melinda's careful schooling. Little Missy's high-spirited nature is matched only by Melinda's--a quality she must rely on when she finds herself torn between love for her horse and devotion to her family. In this engrossing sequel to A Morgan for Melinda, Doris Gates has crafted a touching and dramatic story that will appeal to Melinda's many fans.
