When Susan Richards adopted an abused horse rescued by the local SPCA, she didn’t know how Lay Me Down’s loving nature would touch her heart—and change her life.

For more than a decade she had aspired to be a published writer but it was only with the memoir she wrote to honor Lay Me Down that she achieved this goal.

The book led to a book tour in the course of which Susan reconnected with family and friends from who she had cut herself off. She had given up on romance, but at the second reading of her tour she encountered the man who had sold her his house twenty-four years earlier, a world famous photographer, Dennis Stock. Despite her many qualms about age and intimacy, they fell in love.

Critic reviews

“[Richards] again shows her gift for clarity in description, of both her physical surroundings and the landscapes of her heart and mind…Her observations about later-in-life love are spot-on.”

(Publishers Weekly)

“Richards writes more courageously than she perhaps realizes, and each page of this uplifting book will touch a chord with everyone who enjoyed her first book.”

(Booklist)

“Charismatic…Her charming, self-effacing humor keeps the tone light…Engaging writing by an honest self-explorer.”

(Kirkus Reviews)

Like catching up with the wisest and funniest old friend who is good for your soul. A book full of honesty, brilliantly crafted storytelling and poignancy. Such a treat to find out what happened next. Is one more too much to hope for?

Susan, ignore the odd negative review, they are a minority. Your books have given me a new insight into my life. Whether it's horses, relationships or self preservation you have clearly made a difference and that's huge! Can't wait to read your next book.

Susan, if you read this I am so happy that you finally let yourself be loved. Childhood trauma in whatever form it takes is so damaging and I'm so very happy to learn that you have let yourself be loved.

Happy endings do happen

An excellent sequel to Chosen by a Horse (read that first) funny, poignant and relatable for any woman experiencing the menopause, and who loves the company of their horses, dogs and cats.
