Rita feels life is so hard because she’s brown. Now, how will she deal with it?
About the author
Shannon Kennedy lives at a riding stable in the Cascade foothills where she organizes riding programs, teaches horsemanship now that she’s retired from teaching school, takes care of eighteen horses, trains whoever needs it—four-legged and two-legged, and writes young adult novels for Fire & Ice YA.
Yes, that means she will continue to write more characters that whinny and paw the ground for the Shamrock Stable series as well as encourage her human characters to solve their real-life issues in the Stewart Falls Cheerleader series.
