Book Review: Dinny's Challenge by Hilary Walker




Dinny's Challenge by Hilary Walker
This book starts out with a quote and a bit of background about the story and the horses ailments.
Offer of a free ebook when you sign up for author's newsletter.
Table of contents is enclosed.
Book is written in diary format-dated and then the chapter.
Dinny is on her way to the island to stand in for her friend who's getting married, first checking on her horse with an eye condition. Love learning about this as I am familiar with eye conditions myself.
Not aware of anything when it comes to horses but glad there are options out there...
She gets a big surprise when she meets up with the wedding party...
Grant, an ex fiancee is the best man and the wedding goes off without a hitch, small but just what the couple wanted.
She prays to God often in this book as do others to find the right path to take. Love the transformation of one by the end.
She renews her friendship with Grant and is warned many times over from the woman he brought to the wedding to stay away from him and never come back to the island, like it's HER territory.
She must not have gotten the memo and she enjoys Grant's company. Til she learns the truth about her spouse did she realize what she had thrown away.
Love the action of the rescues in time of bad storms in the area and how others jump to the aid of horse or human.
Like learning of the treatment carried out and what it entailed along with what to expect and how the natural cures could be used for other ailments-just like in humans too!
Super love that this is not the girly girl story of a wedding that could've eaten up 400 pages of details and frilly things but a story of a mature woman and her friends.
Love the descriptions that are handed out as I can picture them in my mind, sounds, smells heat of the sun on your face.
End notes are included along with resources for help and why the author choose the method of treatment.
About the author and acknowledgements are also included at the end.
Other works by the author are highlighted in series format but can be read as stand alone books.
Social media connections are also linkable.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
