Hi you all,
Submitted a new book, in .rtf format, should be a real easy validation. i
read through it completely, had one word that i wasn't sure of, but left it,
smile. But is a very easy validation.
Half the Battle
By Lynn Hall
From the Book jacket:
Half the Battle is a story of tension, rivalry, and misunderstanding between
two teenage brothers-a story in which a tough, one-hundred-mile endurance
ride on horseback brings out the stuff of which both boys are made.
Blair Liskey, who is blind, is dependent on his brother and resents it.
Loren has long fought an overwhelming jealousy of the attention his blind
brother receives and of his brother's opportunities for heroism, which he
lacks and longs for himself.
When Loren realizes that without having to look out for his brother on the
endurance ride, he and his spirited horse Kade might have a chance at
winning, he is tempted to take whatever action he must to achieve some
recognition for himself.
Lynn Hall has written a strong adventure novel in which Blair's struggle to
cope with his handicap is a major theme, as is the conflict with his
brother, which ultimately clarifies the basic relationship between the two.
Lynn Hall and her Paso Fino horse, Tazo.
LYNN HALL lives in the scenic hill country near Elkader, Iowa. She enjoys
long rides with her horse Tazo, teaches 4-H dog training classes, and likes
to reflect occasionally by a frog pond that she built herself. And of course
she spends a lot of time writing-great books like The Leaving, The Horse
Trader, and Danza!

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.
