Vanessa - A life-changing, sentimental story about a fourth-grade kickball game.

China Grove - A chance stop at China Grove - where the Doobie Brothers once roamed - led us to a one-room shack with a horse pasture out back. There we spent a year nursing a wounded colt, learning to speak the language of horses, and finding an unexpected home.
