By Susan Richards.
A really honest & lovely book.
The story of when the author goes to help re-home a rescued mare (Lay Me Down) and her foal. Bringing her back to health, introducing her to authors other horses etc.
The author also writes about her own life story and how the arrival of the mistreated horse acts almost like a therapist.
I honestly couldn't put the book down. The ending is quite upsetting so a box of tissues are recommended!

It made me cry too . I wanted her to stop blathering on about the man she was dating though - I just wanted to hear about the horses!

I loved it too.....i think any horse owner could relate to it, i kept reading it at work on my lunch breaks.....not a good idea! Didn't take me long because couldn't put it down so only had to explain my teary eyes a few times, think they thought i was a right softy getting so emotional!
