Pamela Reager was only seven years old when her parents were killed by a drunk driver. She lived in a foster home for the next 9 years. She was abused by her foster mother along with the 4 other children living in the home. She ran away when she was sixteen. She made her escape with the help of a book and a palomino horse named Helper.
She took refuge in a cabin on top of a mountain in Tennessee. The cabin was perfect for her. It was as though someone had set it up just for her. She hoped to live there until she turned 18. Helper had extraordinary gifts. He brought her food and other items she would need to survive. One day a young boy arrived at her door. Trenton lived down the mountain.They became friends. Trenton helped her out with groceries, laundry, and feeding Helper. Helper led her to a car accident where she found 6 year old Craig Bonswell. His parents were killed in the wreck.
This is a wonderful,heartwarming story that takes a disturbing situation and turns it into something beautiful. This book is light fantasy. It was beautifully written and difficult to put down. I highly recommend this book for all teens and young adults.
