About the Book:

Clippity-Clop! Rosebud is off and running.  She’s running after her dream, and lands right where she longs to be – smack dab in the middle of Charleston! Set in the extraordinary city of Charleston, this heartwarming story of a young heroine following her dream includes warmth, adventure, and a very strong sense of place. Join the enthusiastic filly Rosebud as she discovers Charleston, and glimpse a life in this old city as Charlestonians welcome her.
