I was very disappointed in this book. I enjoyed Chosen By a Horse, and was expecting this to be similar, a story relating to the authors life with horses especially considering the cover image. Instead we get a memoir of the authors experiences after the publication of the book.
Perhaps I would have liked the book more had I known going in that it was not about horses, but as it stands I couldn't even finish it.

Excellent writer who shares her vulnerable side in a way like no other. I was skeptical of a book that talks about how the publishing of a book changed an author's life, but this book removed all skepticism in the first chapter. I was hooked! Amazing writer with an amazing story to tell - anyone can relate to at least one part of the book - does not take a horse lover to understand as the cover may lead you to believe. Susan Richards is now one of my favorite authors....
I enjoyed this as much as the first book, "chosen by a horse" and I am looking forward to getting copy of the next book. Even though horses were not the main characters in this book, the prose draws you into Susan Richards life post horse and refers back Georgia, Tempo, Hotshot and of course, Lay Me Down.
I loved Susan's book Chosen by a Horse. So I thought this one would be good too. I always give books 100 pages, if I can not get into it or if the writer can not write I shut the book at 100. This time I only made it a few pages. It is all about her and how she came to writing the book I loved. Maybe there is more to the book but I could not get through the first couple of pages. I did skim through the book to see if it would get better and this was just an intro, nope. Looked to be about the same. Maybe a reviewer that was able to get through the book will be able to tell more about it. To me: I have better books to read!
This sequel shows the growth within the author's life after her horses die.
