Such optimism is challenged when the author suffers a series of blows: a dangerous fiancé, her mother’s dementia, unexpected death and illness. Buddy, a feisty, unforgettable little Arabian horse with his own history to overcome, offers her a chance to look back on her own life and learn to trust again, not only others, but more importantly, herself. Hemp skillfully guides us through a memoir that is, despite devastating loss, above all, an ode to joy.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"pagesFormat\"\u003e336 pages, Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003eFirst published February 4, 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003e534g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terrier Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47947258298468,"sku":"9781950691241","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4869\/4628\/files\/IMG_7453.jpg?v=1771865894","url":"https:\/\/terrierbooks.com\/en-us\/products\/wild-ride-home-love-loss-and-a-little-white-horse-a-family-memoir-christine-hemp-signed","provider":"Terrier Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
