Her goal: a simpler life in rural Illinois that would let her pursue her passion for writing. But then real life intervened. A fire at a neighboring farm and a misinterpreted gesture of kindness transformed her into the reluctant caretaker of a homeless menagerie of animals.

One of her new tenants was a wild mustang, broken but not bowed, his restless spirit propelling him to escape the fences and pens that enclosed him—a far different life than before he was violently captured by a government-sponsored “round-up.” Ultimately these two fiercely independent characters each provide the catalyst for the other’s life-changing and life-affirming decisions.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMestengo\u003c\/i\u003e is a captivating, emotional account that taps into readers’ love of animals: \u003ci\u003eMarley and Me\u003c\/i\u003e meets \u003ci\u003eThe Horse Whisperer.\u003c\/i\u003e An entertaining and delightful read, it is a cinematic, sometimes tense, but always beautiful story of the power of healing.","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49013829730559,"sku":"9780762790197","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780762790197","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
