Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards
3.0
I have never owned a horse and I have only rode on one a handful of times in my life, but I love them. Not a school girl infatuation love, just a heart and soul kind of love.
The cover appealed to me so I added this to my TBR and it remained for years until I found a copy at Goodwill.
This is a memoir of Richards' divorce and the ongoing grief she feels at the loss of her mother at age five. She is shuffled between relatives that don't show much love or compassion to her. So when Richards finds herself newly divorced and on her own, she impulsively takes in a horse that has been abused by its owner. That horse is Lay Me Down.
The journey Richards takes with her is touching and heart warming, but the writing here doesn't evoke the emotions shared between horse and human. This is a quick read and I am glad I finally got to it, but I felt it missed something for me.
