This is the story of a very large horse, named Shekinah, and a very small girl, named Maddie. They lived on a farm with Maddie’s parents and her grandfather on a crooked little island named Red Banks. So begins David Weale’s magical tale about a girl and a horse, and the powerful bonds of family and friendship. It’s about growing up and having those you love grow old and leave you. And it’s also about the wondrous light that shines in everything when you love with all your heart even after the one you love is gone. Although Shekinah is old and Maddie is not yet four, the shine in their eyes is the same. Maddie’s grandfather notices this, as through the seasons he watches the bond between girl and horse grow stronger and stronger. One day, Shekinah performs an amazing act of love for Maddie. And when the beloved horse dies, it is the grandfather’s turn to give Maddie an important gift: the gift of understanding that Shekinah lives on, and can been seen, in everything that shines.
