My rating: 5 of 5 stars
THE CHRISTMAS PONY by Melody Carlson has holiday warmth and down home charm.
Lucy Turnball wants nothing more than a pony for Christmas. But with money tight, her mother assures her she needs to be praying for boarders if they hope to enjoy Christmas at all. When two out-of-towners show up out of nowhere and need some place to stay, Lucy is amazed. If God could give them boarders during the holiday season, surely He can give her the adorable gray pony she’s wanted for so long. But soon, Lucy’s prayers for the future change.
When Lucy finds out George and Veronica are merely traveling partners, she begins to see George as husband material for her mother and father material for herself. Veronica is on her way to Hollywood to become a star and George has agreed to drive her there. But while Veronica gets antsy in the small no-nothing town and wants to get a move on it, George is charmed by the simple life and the quiet beauty of Lucy’s mother.
Obviously any book entitled THE CHRISTMAS PONY is going to be warm and charming, and with Melody Carlson at the pen it is guaranteed to entertain. I truly enjoyed the bright-eyed character of Lucy and the quiet strength of George. A wonderful tale for the holidays.
