If Wishes Were Horses

All she wants is a horse. But at the height of the Great Depression, Lily knows her dream isn't possible. Constantly arguing with her older sister, Emily, doesn't make it any easier. In Lily's eyes, Emily is everyone's favorite. After all, Emily is allowed to have a cat. Only Great-aunt Nell, visiting from India, understands Lily's problems-and takes her dreams seriously. But when disaster strikes the family, and nothing is certain, Lily must face the fact that not even Aunt Nell can smooth away her troubles.
