Lost Medal

Read and experience this story about the summer of changes with the loveable

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 she must find a

way to help her over-worked 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 is not 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, Mysla and Rella.

Life events unfold and the Stedman sisters work to find ways to meet their

challenges. Questions arise: What does their father want? Can Debbie and the girls

ever forgive him? Discover the answers in this charming story about the joys and

struggles of growing up by children’s novelist, Karen Jean Matsko Hood.
