Golden Filly Series

Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Tricia Evanston and her father share something very special: their love of horses. With Tricia as jockey and her father as trainer, the two have big dreams of winning the Triple Crown. Tricia has other pressures, too, like declining grades, a strained relationship with her mother, and the constant worry about her father's failing health. But Tricia's faith in God always gives her the strength to push her limits.



Cons:
  Tricia basically  falls in love with three different guys, which is rather annoying.  Also, every now and then, the books will mention someone swearing.  While it doesn't show any words, it disturbs me that a Christian family would do that.  

Pros:
  I love Tricia's journey through the latter part of her teen life and the different issues she struggles with.  She's not a perfect teen with a perfect life.  She has problems just like anyone else.  They could be as simple as hiding something from her parents, or as complicated as losing her dad.  She learns to overcome each one.  

  I would give this series five stars.  It's has always been one of my favorite reads.

  Recommended for ages 13 and up.
