A Heart Full Of Hope: The Tale Of The Twin Arabian Colts Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Twins. Any horse breeder's worst nightmare. After a routine post-breeding sonogram confirmed a single embryo, Jessica Williams was shocked when her beloved mare gave birth to twins. Pregnant herself, and having recently moved to a larger home with an unfinished farm, Jessica is in no position to handle twins. When the twins contract a deadly blood infection, Jess must make an harrowing journey to get them to the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, the premier animal hospital in her area. Under the advice of a friend, Jessica creates a Facebook page for the colts that quickly reaches ten thousand followers and becomes an amazing community of hope and support. In the event that the twins survive, Jess will be faced with the painful decision of selling either her treasured Half Arabian foals or the miracle twins with whom she had been blessed. This beautifully written novel recounts the true story of survival of Majus and Majician, the twin Arabian colts known as The BOGO Colts. Against all odds they struggled to survive while their breeder struggled to find a way to keep them together. A story of hope, faith, and determination, A Heart Full of Hope will enchant readers of all ages and backgrounds. It boldly dares you to live your dreams.

This is a wonderful, true story that I have followed on Facebook from the beginning. Jennifer has written such an easy read book. Even though I knew the whole story, I still smiled, cried and got goosebumps while reading. The awesome thing about this book is that it is for all ages! I live just a few miles away and had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer and her son along with Majus and Majician (Bo and Luke). Those boys are gorgeous and although they look alike, are as different as night and day. Do yourself a favor and read this book and remember to live your dreams!
I have only one complaint about this book. It was too short! I knew that it only covered the first year of the lives of Majus and Majician, and there was an epilogue, but I wanted more! I followed them on Facebook so I knew that the story had a positive ending, but was still on the edge of my seat as I read about all the trials and tribulations they, and their human mom, and her family went through. The book was well-written and an easy read, and I liked how the author switched between her perspective and that of the pregnant mares. It was helpful to understand how she was trying to grow her farm and her breeding program. It was nice to have New Bolton Center showcased, a first-class facility not far from here. Kudos to the author, and I look forward to reading about Majus and Majician for many years to come.(I was lucky enough to have a Welsh-Arab cross pony. My parents bought her for me when she was 4, and she lived to be almost 30.) :-) Arabians and Arab crosses are very special indeed!
This is a fabulous read, written in a very easy-to-read style. Although I'd followed their amazing story on Facebook, the detail of the book enriched the story and brought me close to tears several times. I may never get to see them in person, but I feel like I know the Wilson family, like them all, and really wish them success with these twin colts. Sometimes Plan A or Plan B gets tossed out the window. That's what happened here.
I was given this book by a friend. Enthralling, interesting, and uplifting. I wasn't aware of the social media coverage until I read the book but, since I finished it, I've explored the boys Facebook site as well as enjoyed the videos on YouTube. I love animals, but I also liked the inclusion of the family dynamics of love and hard work. Beautifully done - and I can't wait for more !
This story inspires and truly makes one realize that dreams and miracles do come true. Once I started reading I could not put this book down. I laughed and cried. Book also contains beautiful pictures of the BOGO colts.
This is such an overwhelming and beautiful book.... you feel as if you are there with Jennifer and these two precious colts. I first heard about the BOGO colts from Facebook and with each post you become closer to this incredible woman struggling to make her dreams come true. You feel you are there watching these adorable colts grow more beautiful every day. If you a passionate horse 'person' you will love the book and if you aren't you will still love the book! It's an easy read and you come away wanting MORE!!! I laughed, cried and loved throughout this book and can't wait for the next chapter.... Jennifer Wilson is an excellent writer.
a super read for all ages....i have already read mine and loaned it out to encourage more sales.....also purchased an extra one for a Christmas gift.....although this story is "fictional," it is based on the true miracle of the birth of these beautiful colts........i have been a follower of the breeder, jennifer wilson, for a long time, and proud to call her a friend.........and now i can say, i am a follower of the writer, jennifer wilson........can hardly wait for some sequels.......great work
Once I started reading, I didn't want to put it down. It is a wonderful and inspirational story! I loved this book and would strongly recommend it for people of all ages!! Everyone should have a copy!
