Synopsis
"Proof that love for another animal can alone make one human and humane: wit and crushing sadness chasing each other all across the page; intelligence and bravery and perfect literary pitch... Damn great."-Melissa Holbrook Pierson, author of "Dark Horses and Black Beauties: Animals; Women, a Passion" "A bold and sensitive memoir of what it means to open one's heart to love... A magnificent read."-Adele von Rust McCormick, Ph.D and Marlena Deborah McCormick, PhD, authors of "Horses and the Mystical Path; Horse Sense and the Human Heart" "A triumph for all spirits."-Laura Shaine Cunningham, author of "A Place in the Country" "Should rank with the great animal stories."-Ann Arensberg, author of "Incubus" "Two kindred spirits find each other in this beautifully written memoir about the human-animal bond."-Temple Grandin, author of "Animals in Translation" When she agrees to take on the care of one of the abused horses just rescued by the local SPCA, a new chapter opens in Susan Richards's difficult life. She lost her mother at the age of five and was raised by uncaring relatives; married unhappily and divorced; and suffered from alcoholism. While Susan is trying to capture the horse assigned to her, Lay Me Down, a skeletal mare, walks into Susan's horse trailer of her own volition. Susan already owns one mare and two geldings-the diva-like Georgia, boyish Tempo and hopelessly romantic Hotshot-but it is with Lay Me Down that she forges a special, healing relationship that alters her life.Poignant and evocative, this is a book for anyone who has ever loved a horse, and for everyone who has ever lost a loved one., When she agrees to take on the care of one of the abused horses just rescued by the local RSPCA, a new chapter opens in Susan Richards' difficult life.

- _***m (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI recently purchased this book and it arrived quickly and in good used condition, with no ripped pages or damage, and the appearance matched the photo's. The value was good overall. However, the "large map poster" listed as included was missing, which was disappointing since it was a main reason for my purchase. I contacted the seller, and they responded promptly and professionally, resolving the issue with a full refund. Good customer service despite the inconvenience. Thanks much appreciated!!
- q***u (709)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePacked pretty well, though for the $$ and condition of the book I intend as a gift, I would've liked a proper box, NOT A POLYBAG. HOWEVER, the seller did loosely bind the book down with paper inside the mailbag, so that HELPED, but it was lucky it was not ruined by media mail shipping. Thank you for the chance to own this title in such nice condition for such a good value. As described.
