Such optimism is challenged when the author suffers a series of blows: a dangerous fiancé, her mother's dementia, unexpected death and illness. Buddy, a feisty, unforgettable little Arabian horse with his own history to overcome, offers her a chance to look back on her own life and learn to trust again, not only others, but more importantly, herself. Hemp skilfully guides us through a memoir that is, despite devastating loss, above all, an ode to joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46847313772780,"sku":"9781951627782","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23831043482882.jpg?v=1758935840"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/christine-hemp.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
