About Selah's Painted Dream
Product Description One word can ruin a great life--moving. Unless thirteen-year-old Selah can convince Grandpa she should live at the farm, her life is ruined. She'll be forced to move hours from her horse and abandon her equestrian dreams. Determined to stay, Selah must distract Grandpa from his new sweetheart. She searches for a painted dream horse from Grandpa's past. But, Selah finds his old equine partner neglected and near death. Then Grandpa reveals his life changing decision that tramples Selah's plans. Will the one thing that stood in Selah's way become her saving grace?

From the Inside Flap "Your mom and I didn't want you to worry so we didn't mention it, but the company I work for went up for sale right after the New Year." Selah's dad sat tall with his broad shoulders back. He rested his carving knife beside the platter of roast duck. "It looked like I would be unemployed by summer. But great news!"
