Needless to say I threw the stick and that massive mutt and I became friends. Throw the stick and he’ll be your best friend, ma’am. He stopped in front of me and offered me the stick. He looked like he could take down a bear. I worried for a moment that he would be ferocious. And he had the gnarliest stick in his mouth. Bernard, with the coloring of a Dalmatian.

This mutt had to be part Great Dane, part St. I parked, managed somehow to get us all from the car to the stables-not an easy thing to do with a stroller and no paved walkway, and I waited for it all to be over.Īnd then the oddest thing happened. I wanted to be sitting in front of a computer, but I was out in the country at the ass-crack of dawn with an infant, a teenaged boy who didn’t want to be there, and a bunch of horse-obsessed preteens. I had three kids and I’d just started writing again. My youngest daughter was a baby and I remember being so haggard at that point in time. We found a place that offered lessons and signed her up. My eldest daughter was ten and wanted to learn to ride horses.

It wasn’t the small cabin his grandfather had built with his own hands. It wasn’t the cold, sparkling waters of the Rio Grande that rushed through his backyard. Yet it wasn’t the mighty Sangre de Cristo Mountains that truly inspired this series. I had been to his spiritual hometown of South Fork, CO, several times, had listened to his stories of growing up in the eighties amid ranchers and hippies and the unique Western experience that is part of Colorado. Oddly enough it wasn’t on my first trip through southern Colorado where my husband grew up. I can vividly remember the day Bliss was born. To those of you who never stop trying to find the way home Author Foreword Special thanks to my family for giving me the time to write, to the towns of South Fork and Creede in Colorado for the inspiration, and to my writer buddies, Kris Cook and Shayla Black for always listening when I drone on and on. Sometimes reality is better than fantasy. If the universe had asked me what I wanted in a sister, I would never have picked you.
