Lucky Star (Bright Star #4)
by Patsey GrayOrdinarily, Debbie Bell never meddled in grownups’ concerns, especially her mother’s. This was an emergency, however, for Mr. Bayly, their ranch foreman and Debbie’s good friend and mentor, had announced he was leaving — and only because Debbie’s mother had stated, finally and definitely, that she would not marry him. Whatever would they do at the Bell Ranch without Mr. Bayly’s friendly presence and extensive knowledge of horses? Not a day went by that Deb didn’t ask him for advice about training her horse, Star Bright, or about the many other problems that came up. Most of all, Deb knew how her mother relied upon Mr. Bayly and how lonely she would be with him gone. There was only one thing to do, Deb decided: play Cupid. Somehow she’d have to get her mother to change her mind and agree to marry Mr. Bayly. Deb enlisted the rather reluctant help of her best friend, Maureen, in this scheme, but nothing, not even a moonlight picnic on the mesa, seemed to change the situation. Furthermore, Deb’s mother didn’t appreciate her meddling, and Deb couldn’t bring herself to broach the other question that was uppermost in her mind: showing Star Bright in his first horse show at the fair in nearby Laurel. Deb wasn’t at all sure her mother would allow it, and in any case, how could she show Star without Mr. Bayly’s guidance? Deb finally solved her problems about both Star and Mr. Bayly, but not before some amusing, and at times frightening incidents, with an important lesson learned in the end.
