About This Book

FROM THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS COMES A WRY, ENGROSSING, AND MOVING STORY OF A VETERINARIAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE AFTERMATH OF DIVORCE—AMID A MOTLEY CREW OF ANIMALS.

Shaken by her recent divorce, veterinarian Cami Anderson is on a quest to unravel the secret ingredients of a happy, long-lasting marriage. Cami's parents are preparing to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary, yet her brother and his partner find themselves
legally blocked from marriage. Her best friend—and ex-sister-in-law—is newly engaged, but her teenaged daughter's romance has developed its own complications.

Surrounded by several couples approaching different milestones in their relationships, Cami reflects on the meanings of love and partnership, sharing her hopes and fears with the damaged and frightened horse in her care. As she tends to the abused horse, so, too, does Cami begin to heal herself. Coming to terms with her own divorce, she learns poignant lessons in forgiveness, flexibility, and happiness that help her master the art of simply moving on.
