Ruby Pinch loves her Mommy very much and now that it is Mother's Day she is going to make sure that her mommy get's the very best gift.

A sequel to A Hearths Warming Kiss

This story is a sequel to A Foal's First Words

Berry Punch has had a miserable day at the market. First there was sleet, then snow. She didn't make enough money to get Berry Pinch the Hearth's Warming gift she really wants, and begins to sink into depression. But Hearth's Warming isn't about money, it's about unity.

When you fear the cure worse than the affliction, how can you ever hope to recover? For Berry Punch, there's never been an easy answer.

And when she is forced to confront consequences worse than any she could have imagined, it's just going to get harder.

With only her newfound desperation to drive her forwards, Berry Punch throws herself into what might truly be her last living attempt at recovery.

My appreciation goes to Simon_oSullivan, Tired Old Man, and Burraku_Pansa for their contributions.
