On the surface, she is poised and goal-oriented. Only her boss, Leslie, is witness to her depression.</strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>"This is a very powerful book, and one that begs a deep understanding of the recovery process. It's all I can do to put it down and take a break. Thank you for putting this in print." </strong></p><p><strong>--Mark Baus, DVM, contributor to Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice</strong></p><p><strong>"With great courage and skill, Elspeth Roake has written a searing account of her battle with mental illness brought on by trauma. This subject matter has been much in the news, but those of us in jour- nalism who try to cover it cannot hope to match the power of Ms. Roake's intimate account." </strong></p><p><strong>--Paul Friedman, television news executive</strong></p><p><strong>"A powerful story that not only tells the truth about mental illness, but also about how our passions help keep us grounded." </strong></p><p><strong>--Piper Klemm, Ph.D., publisher, The Plaid Horse</strong></p><p><strong>"A completely unrestrained, intimate, and triumphant account of one brave woman's battle with depression. Safe leaves you breathless in empathy with the often-invisible pain of mental illness. Ms. Roake invites the reader to join her on her on her complex journey of dis- covery and healing which is inherently interwoven with the rewards and challenges of working as a rider and groom on the hunter/jumper show circuit." </strong></p><p><strong>--Karen V. Robertson, co-writer of George Morris's Unrelenting</strong></p><br>
