Contemporary Sweet Romance with a Western Flair
by Marilyn Conner Miles
Candy Cane by Marilyn Conner Miles is a coming-of-age story for everyone who loves horses.
Candy Cane is a shy girl with red hair, blue eyes, and creamy white skin who tries to live down her name. She has few friends until the “best day of her life”, when she receives a pony and becomes the Pony Girl.
Her new status eventually changes, though, when the novelty wears off for the neighborhood children. Does Candy care? She has the horse she’s always wanted, loving parents, and a wonderful grandmother.
Then tragedy strikes with a death in the family and a move to another location where Candy must start her sophomore year at a school where she will be the new girl.
Available on Amazon in e-book, audiobook, paperback, and hardback.
