Settled on the grounds of the idyllic Three Sisters Farm with her new colt, Nick, rescue pony Belle trains to pull a cart. Her trainer, Lizzie, first fits the miniature Belle carefully with a harness. Before the cart is introduced, Lizzie teaches Belle the various commands she must understand as a carriage horse. Gaining confidence as she learns the feel of pulling a cart, Belle takes to her training with spirit. Soon Belle looks comfortable while put through her paces hitched to a two-wheeled cart. Her training completed, he takes Lizzie on pleasant drives along the pleasant country roads. Clippety clop!
The miniature pony Belle arrives at Three Sisters Farm and becomes part of the family. Soon, the farmer's wife notices Belle growing plump, and calls the vet. Belle's going to have a baby! Wee Nick quickly grows into the farm family, too.
The two miniature rescue ponies, Belle and Nick, anticipate the coming holiday with the other animals at Three Sisters Farm. They're excited about the arrival of the grandchildren and the promise of new-fallen snow.
Althea Athnos's middle name is "dread." Reclusive and anxiety-ridden, she's made a refuge for herself in a late, childless marriage. Quirky and imaginative, Althea continually reaches out for joy in her surroundings but her inner life is full of negative voices. When her little world is shattered she must face aging on her own without substantial friendships, family ties, funds or career. Her wry sense of humor and neurotic cat may not suffice to meet the challenge. Enter Lilybanks, a historic Arts and Crafts bungalow on the other side of her university town, where retired English professor Marian Morrissey, her young niece Beebe and their housemate Lucy subsist by running a Waldorf-inspired daycare center. This "spiritual sisterhood" takes Althea under its eccentric wings, mentoring her with a beginner's toolkit for finding "felicity," the healing, radiant, here-and-now presence extolled by poets, saints, seers, and Eckhart Tolle.
