Crystal peaks youth ranch

[tunkarose]

I was given a book today called 'hope rising'by Kim Meeder
Its about a ranch in a place called 'Bend' in Oregon.
The true storied in this book are amazing.

'Crystal peaks is a nonprofit organisation that rescues abused and neglected horses and pairs them with disadvantaged children, offering them a place of safety, peace and hope'

I have almost finished the book today and propebly will finish it before bed time i just can't put it down.
There is another book out there by the same author about the ranch but i can't remember what its called.
I recomend this book to all of you...
I would love to one day visit this place.

Has anyone ever heard of this place? Read the books or even been there? Anyone in the Oregon regon?

i am absolutely i love with that book - i have several favorite passages but i think my favorites are 'Lord Have Mercy' and "Miracle' - in fact, after reading the book i talked to the leader of our 4H group about it. we both agreed that after each meeting we would read a passage or two from the book to the group. after we finish the entire book, we plan on having a Ride-A-Thon and all of the profits will go to Crystal Peaks. I was extremely touched by the book and brought to tears MANY times. I highly suggest it to anyone - horselover or not.

It has truely touched me.
Its hard to say but i think my fave chapter is 'chosen one'
I cried so much in the book expecially in the whole part called 'Hope rising triumphant'.
It is my fave book now. I can't wait to track down her next one.
