In the heartwarming sequel to Chosen by a Horse, Susan Richards tells of the continuing gifts brought to her life by her beloved horse, Lay Me Down.
Readers cried with Susan Richards when, at the end of Chosen by a Horse, her beloved mare was laid to rest in the paddock where she had met her herd—Hot Shot, Tempo, and Georgia. Now they will cheer as Susan recounts the further wonders that came into her life as part of Lay Me Down's legacy: a bestselling book, a tour to support that book, the reconnection to friends and family who come to celebrate her success, and love—unexpected, complicated, and true.
And so Chosen Forever works its magic as a sequel of self-discovery, as Susan continues to grow into her new life. Told in charming prose with her familiar and disarming sense of humor, and featuring a new supporting cast of animal characters (a Siamese cat, two pugs, tow Labs, and appearances by horses), this is another moving tale for readers facing their own challenges at recreating their lives. Chosen Forever is the story of what happens the day after all of your dreams come true—how you learn to accept that you deserve to be happy, and how those we love continue to offer us gifts long after they are gone.
I was taken in from the very beginning of this memoir. It is, in turn, deeply saddening,growing up in such an isolate family, to warm, meeting a man who not only shares her love of books and animals, but the author herself. I was moved at her compassion and being so open to learning from, yes, a horse. How well I know the healing properties of these gentle giants. A love story on so many levels.
