Backyard horses

When someone claiming to be her horse's original owner shows up and wants the horse back, fourth-grader Ellie prays for a miracle.

Horse-crazy fourth-grader Ellie James constantly dreams about having a horse of her own, and God finally seems to have answered her prayers, but not with the gleaming black stallion she has been longing for.

Even though she has spent the week doing selfish things, nine-year-old Ellie asks God for help when her beloved horse becomes sick.
