Description
Between the Woods and the Creek, which recounts the adventures of a young girl in Warren, Pennsylvania who finds both excitement and trouble as she and her dog Spot conquer the world outside her front door.
Norma returned a few minutes later with a piece of clothesline, which I tied to the wandering horse’s halter and used to walk him down the sidewalk, clip-clopping all the way, music to my ears. “What are you going to do with him, Jean?”

Plus, Daddy will have all the manure he needs for his garden, and I’ll have a horse I can ride anytime I want.” I reached up and rubbed his neck. All my dreams were coming true. I had my dog, and now, I had a horse, too. What more could any girl want?
