Having grown up with an undiagnosed Autism Spectrum Condition, Susan Dunne had already survived rape, battled eating disorders and self-harm, and spent time homeless when her world was turned upside down again by a vicious, life-threatening assault. Already detached and isolated due to Asperger's, severe post-traumatic stress disorder left her feeling distrustful and more cut off than ever before from a world she saw as confusing and dangerous. Then a chance question from a doctor led her back to horses, an unfulfilled childhood passion. Could her connection with horses be the turning point in her life? Susan invites readers to share in her story of survival and transformation, offering a rare insight into her relationship with horses, and how they helped her to find a safe place in the world.
