Fourteen-year-old Sarah Coop is trying to get her feet back on solid ground. Since the death of her adoptive parents, "Scoop" and her brother, B.C., have lived with Aunt Dotty. Sarah's life revolves around Orphan, a mixed-breed black mare that Grandfather Coop "loaned" her when he was unable to sell her through his floundering stable business. Scoop learns major coming-of-age lessons as she trusts and relies on God. This series is perfect for readers with an interest in and affection for horses.

When Scoop thinks her contribution to King's Kamp exceeds that of her friends, they help her see that they are all a team.
