Title: When the book jacket compells you, head to the register..
Review: Waiting for a plane on the other side of the world I spotted IN THE PRESENCE OF HORSES. Having recently moved to Eastern PA, and with the possibility of working with horses in the near future, I was immediately taken by this book. Natalie's story is not unlike like that of many of us who have travelled, trying to find our way. Along with her we learn about life in a boarding stable and how teaching young girls to care for horses can teach us how to care for ourselves. With a somewhat mysterious air, we learn details of Natalie's past history and how it has shaped her psyche. With startling honesty it reveals how sometimes, circumtances totally out of our control help us find our way. This will tempt the reader to examine their own life decisions. I look forward to a possible sequel to learn more about the other characters we come to know in this story of one women's search to find her place among the people and animals who make up her world.
