Publisher's Synopsis
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. She lost her mother at the age of five and was raised by uncaring relatives; married unhappily and divorced; and suffered from alcoholism. Susan already owns one mare and two geldings but it is with this rescued horse, 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 or lost a loved one.
