Overview: I was born in Champaign, Illinois in 1957 but was raised in Rock Island, Illinois. I have two younger brothers. My father was a veterinarian (small animals, only; no horses-another sigh) but I’m sure I inherited my love of animals and the outdoors from him. My mother always encouraged us to read, and books were the preferred gift for birthdays and holidays.

I Rode a Horse of Milk White Jade – PDF – Born on the Mongolian steppes during the reign of Kublai Khan, Oyuna’s future seems decided when, as an infant, her foot is crushed by a horse. Her clan believes she has been cursed by bad luck, and she is confined to her family’s tent to cook and sew. But Oyuna dreams of bringing honor and good luck to her family. Disguised as a boy and with only her beloved old mare and heroic cat for company, she sets off on a journey–a journey that will change her luck forever.
In her debut novel, talented new author Diane Lee Wilson–chosen as one of Publishers Weekly’s Flying Starts for 1998–spins an inspired tale of courage, faith, and determination.
Tracks – ePUB/MOBI – Can the railroad that is uniting America bridge the gap between two boys from different backgrounds?
Shortly after the Civil War, Malachy laces on his father’s boots and travels to the American West to work on the transcontinental railroad that will unite the country. In addition to the challenge of the physically grueling work, Malachy also has to adjust to working with Chinese men and boys, whom he views with suspicion and contempt. Despite everything, Malachy gets by with his love for his fierce new dog, Brina, and Blind Thomas, the most hardworking and loyal railroad horse around.
But after a Chinese boy is blamed for stealing a bag of coins, Malachy begins to reconsider his prejudices—because Malachy is the real thief, and his conscience is uneasy. He begins to notice the many ways in which the Chinese workers are mistreated. And when real danger threatens, Malachy needs to find the courage to step up and do what’s right.
Diane Lee Wilson’s atmospheric writing vividly depicts the western landscape of America in the 1860s, bringing readers alongside Malachy—and his beloved horse and dog—as he navigates a bumpy moral terrain, and discovers a friendship he never knew was possible.
