#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A compelling portrait of three people who love each other but can't break through the self-created walls that keep them apart.”—Chicago Sun-Times
His name is Tom Booker. His voice can calm wild horses, his touch can heal broken spirits. And Annie Graves has traveled across a continent to the Booker ranch in Montana, desperate to heal her injured daughter, the girl’s savage horse, and her own wounded heart. She comes for hope. She comes for her child. And beneath the wide Montana sky, she comes to him for what no one else can give her: a reason to believe.
Praise for The Horse Whisperer
“Compelling . . . a real page-turner.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Fascinating . . . moving . . . a big, engrossing book [with] an unexpected endeing that surprises mightily.”—Los Angeles Times
“Brilliance pervades this five-hankerchief weepie.”—The Times (London)
“Outstanding . . . a book of rare power and beauty.”—Booklist
Nicholas Evans' The Horse Whisperer ain't your typical read, but it sure was a pleasant surprise. It's got a bit of everything—heart, grit, and a whole lot of horse lore. I wasn't expectin' to get so caught up in it, but there I was, turnin' pages faster than I can drive down one of Chattanooga's back roads. It's different from my usual picks, but I reckon it's worth a shot if you're lookin' to shake things up a bit. I'd give it a solid 4.
