Compelling and beautiful!
I read a lot of books - this book resonates like very few I have read in quite awhile Broken: A Love Story. While the cover is confusing, implying all kinds of things that this book is not about, the rest of the pages pull and tug and remind us of our own struggles. Broken presents a tantalizingly honest journey of a modern sophisticated woman moving between her broken white world and Stan Addison's broken native Arapaho world; all the while inter-twinning the brokenness (physical, spiritual, emotional, social, historical, etc.) of her characters - which are all the more powerful, because they are real. Ms. Jones speaks deeply to all of us; somehow, somewhere in our lives we have been broken and may still be. Her adventure helps the reader more deeply experience his own cracks in his life: past and present.
This is a powerful book, - it's not perfect, but neither is the author nor the world that she and the rest of us have created for ourselves. This is the kind of book Opra should be prescribing - it helps make the world a better place, broken as it is.3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Interesting but not really about horses
My husband read an except from this book in an airline magazine and said I think you will love this book about a native american horse trainer. Well, I did love the book and it is about a native american horse trainer but it has little to do with training horses! It is an interesting read. Mostly the book is about the author's journey to better self understanding. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
