The timeless classic and beloved story of a wild horse’s gentle filly—winner of a Newbery Honor! On the island of Chincoteague, off the coasts of Virginia and Maryland, lives a centuries-old band of wild ponies. Among them is the most mysterious of all, Phantom, a rarely-seen mare that eludes all efforts to capture her—that is, until a young boy and girl lay eyes on her and determine that they can’t live without her. The frenzied roundup that follows on the next Pony Penning Day does indeed bring Phantom into their lives, in a way they never would have suspected. Phantom would forever be a creature of the wild. But her gentle, loyal filly Misty is another story altogether . . . “A thrilling and long-to-be-remembered tale.” —San Francisco Chronicle

The year was 1970 when Misty was born. The children in our family ranged in age from sixteen down to two and a half. There were seven boys and one girl. We lived in a two-story house, with a very large yard. The back porch (or hall as we called it) was enclosed, with a window looking out over the yard. Our first and oldest child was Steve. He was sixteen. Second was Larry, who was fifteen. Third was Alan, who was fourteen. Next in line, the fourth child (and only daughter) was Annette. She was thirteen years old. Fifth in line was David, who was nine years old at the time. Sixth in line was Kelly. He was close to his seventh birthday. Seventh in line was Todd, and he was close to his sixth birthday. (Their birthdays were in April, same time we got Misty.)Then the eighth child, and youngest, was Rick. He was two and a half years old at the time. Dad worked at his job at the V. A. Hospital, and I (Mom) was a full-time homemaker The children were all close in age and we were a very close-knit family. We cared about and helped each other. We did things together. Two of the older boys, Larry and Alan, were constantly into projects. What one wouldnt think of to do, the other one would. The last, and smallest family member was a white and black cat. (He had been rescued from an animal trap) He had several names by our family. One was Pickles (because he was always being rescued) another was Puddy, some just preferred cat.He didnt care. As long as he was petted and loved and fed.

Single mother Janeen Flare has had a rough road so far with her beautiful children, Donovan and Tina. The choice to leave her worthless boyfriend Sean was obvious. Sean's rage came to a head and he tried to slash Janeen's throat. Coming to his senses he decided not to kill Janeen. In desperation, Janeen escaped with only an eighth of a tank of gas and her two babies. Her children are now seven and four years old and they seem to have their lives back on track. She is going to graduate from school soon and is working as a topless dancer to support her two children. Just as her life is looking up, she is challenged to make her dream come alive with Pete. He is the man she has fallen in love with, but his reluctance to love her children, and the shame her family holds over her head, put her into a tailspin. She fosters a friendly relationship with Jake, who is always there for her in times of need. Jake whole-heartedly tries to show her some goodness but Janeen denies him. Every moment she grows more and more blind to the few good things remaining in her life. His effort to get closer to Janeen ends up wasted. As she becomes ever more oblivious, she chooses to be with Pete. The path she follows grows darker and more violent, and may never lead her back to the light.
