Abby Wize

Abby Wize is thirteen, and the stable is where she finds relief from a domineering mother. A family vacation, however, shows her that horses cannot always protect her from trouble. Without warning, she is carried into an unfamiliar world, and the experience reshapes how she sees everything.

Abby is a perceptive, tender-hearted girl. In this new place she meets people whose understanding reaches far beyond anything she could have imagined in America in 2007. Her stay ends as abruptly as it began, and she struggles to settle back into ordinary life, but the insights she brought home give her something solid to hold onto.

This opening volume launches the Abby Wize series. It is written with members of the Baha'i Faith and their non-Baha'i friends in mind, particularly young readers. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the horse whispering methods Abby discovers, and time-travel readers will be drawn to her journey into the distant future. The book also includes charts and directions for two counted cross-stitch designs, "No Hate" and "World Peace."
