Book Description
The New York Times bestselling author of Chosen by a Horse explains how caring for an animal taught her to care for herself. 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, and, as she says: “It had something to do with Georgia. It had something to do with making a commitment as enormous as caring for a horse that might live as my companion for the next forty years. It had something to do with love.” Every day begins with a morning ride. Every day Susan lives a little more and thinks about her mistakes a little less. Every day she learns a little more from 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.

Look, I'll never stop missing Hal, but this Subs Club my friends started to review suck-ass doms isn't gonna bring him back or give him justice. For me, it's just another chance to hang out with my friends, even if they think I'm too dumb to understand the important work we're supposedly doing. But maybe I'm not as dumb as they think-at least I know when I've got a good thing going. Which is why I just moved in with my dom. Ryan's awesome possum. He's really short, never makes me feel stupid, and is up for anything. One word: costumes. Two more words: women's underwear. We're all about the lace, no leather. Except when we do pony play. We first tried it as a joke, but turns out I'm ballin' at it. Now PetPlayFest is coming up, and I wanna take down the Subs Club's archrival, Cinnamon the ponygirl, in the horse show. My friends think I'm spending too much time with Ryan and ignoring my obligations to the group. But since when is friendship an obligation? Ryan's my first serious relationship, and I want to take it . . . seriously. At some point I need to think about my future, not my past. -Kamen
