She teaches writing courses, plods away at a book of her own, and doesn't think much about not having a child. Then the dog dies, and a doctor's visit reveals her body can't have children even if she wanted to. Out of these conditions, a sudden, strangely familiar thought prevails: horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she hears about a mare whose owner needs help part-time, it seems like an ideal arrangement-and perhaps something to help with the emptiness, diagnosable and otherwise, that she's begun to feel. She has no problem sharing; she shares a garden with the children next door and chores with her husband. The horse will be something to care for, just two days a week, without getting in too deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as she takes up riding lessons and medical treatments, walks and brushes and dreams of the horse, her affection develops into obsession-forcing her to confront what it means to love a being who does not belong to her. Moving with grace, humor, and probing insight, Emily Haworth-Booth's \u003cem\u003eMare\u003c\/em\u003e pulses with life and feeling and introduces an irresistible literary voice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50571494981936,"sku":"BDws83","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":50571495014704,"sku":"ZEws83","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":50571495047472,"sku":"ZMws83","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ws83-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780331021","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ws83","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
