Susan Richards went to rescue one horse and ended up bringing home an extraordinary replacement, Lay Me Down, a broken down race horse that would teach her how to embrace the joys of life.
"An inspirational story of what family means and what the loss of one can do to us-and for us."-Boston Globe
When Susan Richards adopted an abused horse rescued by the local SPCA, she didn't know how Lay Me Down's loving nature would touch her heart-and change her life.For more than a decade she had aspired to be a published writer but it was only with the memoir she wrote to honor Lay Me Down that she achieved this goal.The book led to a book tour in the course of which Susan reconnected with family and friends from who she had cut herself off. She had given up on romance, but at the second reading of her tour she encountered the man who had sold her his house twenty-four years earlier, a world famous photographer, Dennis Stock. Despite her any qualms about age and intimacy, they fell in love.
"Richards reflects on how rich life becomes when one travels her own best path....each page of this uplifting book will touch a chord in everyone who enjoyed her first book."-Booklist
