A review by elderwoodreads
The Prettiest Horse in the Glue Factory by Corey White

dark emotional inspiring sad medium-paced

5.0

As a formal social services worker I found this to be an incredibly powerful and profound read. White does a great job of weaving his experiences together along with bits of insight about his frame of mind at the time. He is truly a resilient human being and has done a great job of writing a story that shows while things may not be the same after trauma there can be a new normal, and we can make peace with our inner child and past selves. 

This is a very hard read, please check the trigger warnings and take care of yourself
