Synopsis
"Maizie Musser, 12, is trying to come to terms with her mother's desertion of her family. The girl ably cares for her little sister and their alcoholic, mine-worker father while experiencing the usual feelings of adolescence. Determined to fulfill her dream of owning a strawberry roan pony, she takes a summer job at the Blue Moon Nursing Home, where old Amelia Skiles fills the role of the grandmother she has always wanted. The Blue Moon is also where, ultimately, a staff worker arranges for her to get a pony. She finally hears from her mother and realizes that she will never return. Facing this, Maizie writes her a cathartic letter that she stores in a memory box." (SLJ) "Gradesfour to seven." (Bull Cent Child Books)
