About this book
Description
Emotionally impactful, beautifully written, IN THE PRESENCE OF HORSES is an entrancing novel of the almost mystical healing power of horses over emotionally damaged people, as well as a compelling portrayal of commitment and betrayal. For the last twenty years horse trainer Natalie Baxter has been drifting, unwilling to put down any roots and shunning proximity to people. A loner, she has a special gift -- a natural affinity with horses, the beautiful, mysterious creatures whose presence gives her the peace, security and strength she has yet to find elsewhere. When she takes a job near the Pennsylvania town where she grew up her life suddenly changes course. Never has she felt so pulled by a place and its people: and, everywhere, childhood memories flood her consciousness. Gradually, Natalie begins to examine the tragic circumstances of her past. And, just when she is thinking it is time to move on, she is forced to re-evaluate everything she believes -- about herself, her family and those around her. One long journey has ended, and another is about to begin...
