The Horseback Writer: WINDOW TO THE SOUL

Sunday, June 7, 2009

A strange stillness dwells in my eye,

a composure that appears to regard the world

from a measured distance.

It is the gaze from the depths of a desert dream.

(Horses of the Sun--Robert Vavra)

Made That Way, Susan Ketchen. I love horses and I love "horse girls." This worthy story intrigued me with unique elements not found in the average girl-and-pony books.
The Mountains Bow Down, Sibella Giorello. Must read author and series. This fourth installment following FBI forensics agent Raleigh Harmon does not disappoint and will keep you up late at night.
The Passion of Mary-Margaret, Lisa Samson. This book has been added to a very short list of fiction I will reread. Yes, its about a nun. And it had me in tears more then once.
