When the Horses Came: The Horse Catcher's Trilogy, Book One (Horse Catchers Trilogy, Bk 1) 6 reviews Amanda Cockrell

An enchanting book
+ When the Horses Came + Amanda Cockrell delivers a spell-binding read
The author has managed to weave a tale of magical realism with language that is spare and uncluttered. Her characters are astutely drawn, with flaws and contradictions--but also courage and tenderness--that make them believable and likable. The setting and time are well rendered, and the premise ...
