A Big Challenge for a Little Brother is the true story of a 14-year old boy suddenly tasked with training an unridden horse when his older brother leaves for the Army. This 2-year odyssey takes them from tentative baby steps to a gratifying conclusion. The book is truly a coming-of-age story for both horse and rider. Along the way the reader gets an inside look at life on a small family farm in the 1950's. This boy/horse/farm story contains the seeds of a real-life series of events that occur later. The last chapter, "A Final Connection", tells an amazing story of coincidence. The story becomes heart-warming and tragic at the same time. It becomes inspirational for all readers. It could have been written for a Hollywood movie but it is fact, not fiction.
