Twist of Fate: The Miracle Colt and His Friends - Hardcover

Recounts the birth of Twist of Fate, a horse whose pregnant mother had been rescued from a highway accident, and his life at the Longmeadow Rescue Ranch.

A truck careened along the Missouri interstate on a starless night carrying 42 horses destined for a slaughterhouse in Dekalb, Illinois. With each mile, the animals' anxiety mounted, their large, dark eyes rolled back showing white, betraying the fear they felt in their hearts. Suddenly without warning, the truck failed to maneuver a curve on I-44. Brakes squealed, and the top-heavy trailer lurched and crashed to its side. Twenty-six horses survived that night. Told by Twister, an unborn colt at the time of the accident, this story tells how the brave animals came to live at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. It's a story Twister shares about his birth and the hope that can be found on the grounds of the ranch outside Union, Missouri. The home is a 165-acre farm that sits in a valley, surrounded by lush hills and meadows sprinkled with wildflowers. Twist of Fate talks about life herea haven for resilient animals like Twister. Not only does the book teach as it entertains, it invites young readers to come out for a visit!
