Scoop meets Lefty's owner, the foal she'd helped deliver during the snowstorm a few months ago. Instantly her and her friends are struck with how much Scoop and Twila Twopennies look alike. As Scoop begin's spending time with Twila, and noticing their similarities she can't help wondering... is this her birth mother? And now Scoops spending less time with her friends, her horse, and her brother and Aunt. Will she go too far? Will she hurt those around her that love her? And is Twila truly her mother?
This book was great! I just didn't want to put it down. Scoop's struggle made her realize that family is more then blood, that its also about people who are there for you and care about you. It makes you realize how blessed we are for our own family and friends.
