I recently was given access to download a free Christmas short titled Merry and Bright. This novella by Tudor Robins was made available to people on her author email list. It’s based on the characters from the Island Series.
They’re a little older, but Meg doesn’t feel any wiser. Her mother’s constant push to come back into town, step away from the horses and get a law degree nags at her.
The decision to take on a rescue horse provides an opportunity for Meg. Through the adventure of picking up a horse, Meg questions her ability and priorities. One malnourished horse leads to more than one and a cold night soon becomes a dangerous snow storm.
As Meg questions her motives in live, her relationship with Jared and how she can do more to take the load off her boyfriend, the horse rescue trip allows her to gain clarity on her life. Merry and Bright is an interesting, horse focused read.
The situation of driving out to collect a horse in need of a new home and some good feed, provides perfect opportunity for Meg to think about her life and where it’s headed. Merry and Bright was an entertaining read with horses featuring heavily. The ending was well thought out and detailed. Recommended.

“When I hear somebody talk about a horse or cow being stupid; I figure it’s a sure sign that the animal has somehow outfoxed them.” ― Tom Dorrance, True Unity: Willing Communication Between Horse & Human
