Chosen Forever - Hardcover

When Susan Richards adopted an abused horse rescued by the local SPCA she didn't know that Lay Me Down's loving nature would touch her heart - and change her life. Susan, a writing teacher, had lost her mother at the age of five and been abandoned by her father to uncaring relatives: she had an unhappy marriage ending in divorce and had self-medicated for anxiety, grief, and repressed anger with alcohol. For more than a decade she had aspired to be a published writer, but it was only with the memoir she wrote to honor Lay Me Down that she achieved this goal.
The publishing process was an eye-opening experience for her. It culminated in a book tour in the course of which Susan reconnected with family and friends, some of whom she had lost track of for years. But even more joyously, at the second reading scheduled, she met the man from whom she had bought her house twenty-four years earlier, a world famous photographer, Dennis Stock. And they fell in love.

Susan Richards is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir, Chosen by a Horse. She lives in New York with her husband.
