Twist of Fate

Based on a true story of the events on September 27th, 2006.  A tractor-trailer headed to a meatpacking plant over turns on Interstate 44 in rural Missouri.  Forty-two horses and one hinney are trapped inside.  Rescue workers work through the night and manage to free twenty-five horses and the hinney - a miracle in itself.  But seven months later the real miracle occurs.  A colt is born and is named "Twist of Fate," surviving the harrowing crash inside the brave mare.

Twist of Fate is a touching tale of strength, compassion and dedication.  This book is written by Chris Stuckenschneider and will captivate your young readers. I had tears in my eyes as Chris writes this story from "Twister's" point of view.  The paintings by Kevin Belford are so life-like you are immediately draw to them. 

Come take the journey with all the survivors of the terrible crash on that fateful night - even though the circumstances that start off this story are sad, the outcome is one of hope and happiness.
