I was drawn to the book because it is about a prison ranch in New Mexico, my home state. I got much more than just a book about horses. Ginger Gaffney puts her world out there to read about, she is very open and raw about her relationships with humans and animals. Some stories pull you, make you think and a couple stories cut short and leave you hanging but overall it is a great book.
The best quote, I feel truly says it best, is from the write up about the book. "As Gaffney peels away the layers of her own storyâ a solitary childhood, painful introversion, and a trans-formative connection with her first horse, a filly named Belleâ she, too, learns to trust people as much as she trusts horses. Half Broke is a resonant memoir with a spirited, memorable cast that describes the fascinating ways both horses and humans seek relationships to survive."
