Lost Medal
Come and experience this summer of changes with the lovable Stedman girls. Serious older sister, Nichole, must come to terms with her bitterness against her absentee father, who has been gone for over a year, as well as find a way to help her overworked mother, Debbie, survive the struggle of raising two girls by herself. Fun-loving and less careful younger sister, Rebecca, often unintentionally finds herself in a bind when her sister isn’t around to look out for her. Although very different, Nichole and Rebecca find common ground through their shared love of riding their regal Icelandic horses, Lysa and Tina. They also bond through their desire to help their mother, and they think of creative ideas to help her with a difficult project at her job with an architecture and design firm.
Finally, things seem to be looking up for the struggling Stedman family. Nichole wins a medal in the horseback riding competition at the State Fair, but it is wrenched from her hands by a stickler judge, who claims that Nichole’s medal was won fraudulently.
To top it all off, Nichole and Rebecca’s father, Allan, makes a reappearance in their lives after a year of silence. What does he really want, and can Debbie and the girls ever forgive him? Find out in this unforgettable novel about the joys and struggles of growing up, by budding novelist Karen Jean Matsko Hood.
