Gathering Goodness Linda Amick Algire

Jennie McKenzie sells her horse, Mint Julep, and begins a new life as a college student in Chicago. Four years later, Jennie struggles with making a choice between her dream of living in the city or acknowledging the horse-shaped hole in her heart.

Two veterinarians conspire to find the truth about a horse reported dead under strange circumstances. Jennie's Dear Equestrian letters, humorously written from horses to their owners, become a popular magazine feature. Her grandfather provides much-needed encouragement when Jennie finds herself in like with Jeremy James, a boy she teased in high school calling him the boy with two first names.

Join Jennie as she meets life's challenges with determination and joy. Gathering Goodness is a story of friends, family, and being thankful for everything instead of allowing bad experiences to steal our joy--and faith.
