4.0

Dunn's book is certainly a soul searching confessional that seemed to resonate with me personally. Her descriptions of horses and our (women's) relationships with them have left me pining for my own long gone equine friends. I appreciated the way she wove flashbacks, medical information, and other stories into the tale of this life changing accident. Dunn writes artfully and believably. Dunn's story of transformation was pleasantly palatable and thought-provoking, a welcome contrast to Gilbert's [b:Eat, Pray, Love|19501|Eat, Pray, Love|Elizabeth Gilbert|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1269870432s/19501.jpg|3352398] which I could not even get 50 pages into because of its insipid triteness.
