For most of history, horses have held a precious place in mankinds heart as transportation, as companions and now as treasured friends. The relationship between Lauren Hart and her horse Dawn Treader in Victoria E. Moras Christian fiction Hope Haven: A Novel (published by iUniverse) is at once inspirational and comforting.
Lauren and Dawn Treader are nationally-ranked when Dawn Treader suffers a serious injury. With her family life already in shambles, Lauren begins to question her faith in God. Its only through her trip to Hope Haven Therapeutic Riding Center that she begins to find the answers she needs to rebound from this trying accident.
At Hope Haven Lauren meets Jason, a positive, optimistic boy of 14 who is confined to a wheelchair as a result of a car accident. He maintains hope that through hippotherapy the help of a horse he can regain the use of his legs. His verve and joy are infectious to Lauren, who begins to reclaim her own faith and optimism.
I wanted to give my readers the opportunity to make a difference, Mora says. Every purchase of Hope Haven will help the [Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International, formerly known as North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA), continue to advocate for safe equine-assisted activities and therapies.
Hope Haven was selected for inclusion in the iUniverse Star program, which recognizes excellence in writing.
