One day, at the age of thirty-one, Susan Richards realized
that she was an alcoholic. She wrote it down in her journal, struck
by the fact that it had taken nine years of waking up hung-over to
name her illness. What had changed?
Susan had a new horse, a spirited Morgan named Georgia, the kind
of horse who doesn't go in for indecision, who doesn't apologize
for her opinions, and who isn't afraid to be herself. In Georgia,
Susan finds something to draw her back to herself, but also
something to keep her steady and focused, to teach her about
stepping carefully in unknown territory, to help her learn again
about balance.
This is a memoir about the power of animals to carry us through
the toughest times of our lives--about the importance of constancy,
the beauty of quiet, steadfast love, the way loving a good (and
sometimes bad!) animal can keep you going. It's a wonderful story
for Susan's (and Georgia's) fans, and for anyone who has ever loved
an animal enough to keep on living.
