This is a true story of a place where the impossible flourishes, where dreams survive the inferno of reality, a place where hope rises. The author owns and opeates Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch that rescues abused/neglected horses and pairs them with disadvantaged children to offer them a place of safety, peace and hope. It's an awesome book!

This was a wonderful book! I laughed, I cried, I couldn't put it down. I could just feel the amazing power of God's love and the power He puts into the hands of people who are faithful. I highly recommend it!

I loved this book! It was easy to read as it is divided up into short stories but in the end they all tie together. Very moving stories of hope and resilience! I almost didn't want to send my copy away, but I want others to enjoy this book as much as I did.

Fabulous true stories about rescued horses and children by a wonderful Christian couple in Bend OR. After reading the book, I actually took the time to tour the ranch and left them a small donation. What a great place for "lost" children. God bless them and the work that Kim Meeder and her husband do.

Amazing stories, really touches the heart. Kim 's vision and mission is very inspiring, to reach the broken-hearted . from abused horses to abused children, and by putting them together, allowing the Lord to heal their hearts in astounding ways.
This book is a must read for everyone. It is amazing what one Kim Meede, her husband and staff are doing to help so many kids and horses. With God's help it is truly amazing. Do your self a favor and read all her books and check out their website at www.crystalpeaksyouthranch.org. You will be blessed beyond measure.
