<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Growing up in New Mexico on her family's horse ranch, Judy Vaughan's life is inspirational and rhapsodic, but it is also tense and dramatic in many ways. Raising horses is not without worries and pressures. She rises to the occasion though and grows up strong.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Strawberry Roan is one woman's search for meaning in a world of competition, isolation and passion. Her family is loving and supportive but her father's pressures become her own. She becomes a horsewoman, a breeder and raiser of horses, a kind of equne princess who must always win competitively against girls somehow better equipped than she. In time her life pursuits lead her towards doctoring and she becomes a neurologist with a driving ambition to help people who are on the edge. Sadly, the pressures here are complex and so is her unraveling marriage. She wins only by rugged individualism and the absolute will to win. It's a triumphant story as well as a dramatic one, laced with lovely descriptions of ranch life and the backwoods beauty of northern New Mexico..</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Judy's life story shines a light on Life, a life seen through the eyes of a<br /> bright and courageous young girl, free to wander the mystic Sangre de Cristo<br /> mountains alone on the back of her spirit companions, the horses she has<br /> raised and trained. That journey creates the humanitarian, physician, and<br /> gifted writer who resurrects that world through the enchanted eyes of a child."<br /> -- Alice Winston Carney, author of A Cowgirl in Search of a Horse</p><br>
