About This Item
New York:: Norton,, (2020). First edition -. Fine in illustrated wrappers.. Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. ) A remarkable and unusual memoir - the author, a horse trainer, answers a call to help retrain the troubled horses at an alternative prison ranch in New Mexico, a facility run entirely by the prisoners. Both horses and residents arrive at the ranch broken in one way or many: "the horses are defensive and terrified, while the residents, some battling drug and alcohol addictions, are emotionally and physically shattered. . . Gaffney peels away the layers of her own story - a solitary childhood, painful introversion, and a transformative connection with her first horse, a filly named Belle - and she, too, learns to trust people as much as she trusts horses. . . the group experiences triumphs and failures, brave recoveries and relapses, as well as betrayals and moving stories of trust and belonging." 244 pp.
