Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was suprised to find that Allyson's Beau wasn't just another story about a horse, and even more suprised to find that this is the author's first book. Even though I don't live in the world of horses, there was much about the well-defined protagonist - Allyson - that I could identify with.
This is a story about a young woman's journey through some very difficult times, resulting in her growth and ultimately, triumph. I won't go into what Allyson goes through that challenges her - not what you might expect - and not to give too much away, but the story does not have a predictable outcome. There is also some romance in the book, as well.
The author is kind enough to include a glossary of technical terms, for those who are not in the know about horses, etc. All in all, it was an excellent read, and I am looking forward to Ms. Vander Wende-William's next novel.

As mere wishes meet concrete reality, "She didn't know what she feared more, riding Beau or arousing Barbara's anger" She chooses a scrawny, uncoordinated, bay foal, who becomes her reason for continuing in the rough and rugged horse industry that is determined to wear her down. As desperation drives her dream, Allyson not only gathers a variety of friends and foes, but meets her true self in the process. Her colt, her Beau, is not the only love in her life, something she often forgets. Join Allyson and her Beau, and enter into the world of the Morgan Show Horse. Through her eyes, learn what it takes to make a dream become reality.
