A lonely woman who's had a difficult life takes care of a skeletal racehorse rescued by the SPCA. Susan Richards already owns three horses, but it is with Lay Me Down that she forges a special, healing relationship that alters her life.The horse Susan Richards initialy chose for rescue wouldn_ t be corralled into her waiting trailer. Instead Lay Me Down, a former racehorse with a foal close on her heels, walked right up that ramp and into Susan_ s life. This gentle creature_ malnourished, plagued by pneumonia and an eye infection_ had endured a rough road, but somehow her heart was still open and generous. It seemed fated that she would come into Susan_ s paddock and teach her how to embrace the joys of life despite the dangers of living.

An elegant and often heartbreaking tale filled with animal characters as complicated and lively as their human counterparts, this is an inspiring story of courage and hope and the ways in which all love_ even an animal_ s_ has the power to heal.

"This a moving, heartfelt memoir. Its  story for nyone who has ever loved fiercely and lost, thought that pain had damaged them beyond fixing, or wondered if facing death also means facing life"  - Chronogram Magazine
