A Girl and Her Horse Strickland Michel
At almost fourteen, Alexis Fain and her younger siblings, George and Baby Sally, have traveled the world with their parents, Sgt 1st Class Jesse Fain and their Mother, Rachel. The children find themselves to be outsiders, outcasts in a small town school where new students are rare enough, but new students with Yankee accents are a new experience entirely. This time, US Army orders sent the young Sergeant and his family to an Army Post in rural Louisiana during the onset of the Civil rights movement.
She is happiest at her grandparents' farm in central Washington state, where she helps her grandfather with the animals and learns the art of horsemanship. Alexis or Alex as she is called, being the oldest struggles the most. Horses are her passion.
And on a sergeant's salary a seeming impossibility. The children meet an old couple descended from slaves who live just down the road from them.
