Falling for Eli: How I Lost Heart, Then Gained Hope Through the Love of a Singular Horse
Autor Nancy Shulinsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 apr 2012
Nancy
Shulins
had
a
great
career,
a
loving
husband,
and
was
looking
forward
to
having
a
family.
Cheering
as
her
friends
got
pregnant
and
dutifully
bringing
gaily
wrapped
gifts
to
every
baby
shower,
she
suffered
bout
after
bout
of
unsuccessful
infertility
treatment.
Devastated,
she
slowly
heals
through
the
most
unexpected
route:
the
love
of
a
good
(if
cranky)
horse
named
Eli.
Everyone
knows
a
woman
who
loves
horses.
Maybe
she
rides
whenever
she
can
find
the
time,
maybe
she
rode
as
a
young
girl,
or
maybe
she
just
devoured
the
Black
Stallion
books.
Twenty
years
ago,
Nancy
Shulins
let
go
of
one
dream--having
a
child--and
worked
toward
another
one:
learning
to
ride
and,
eventually,
having
her
own
horse.
In
the
process,
she
learned
what
it
means
to
love
another
being
so
much
you
can’t
imagine
life
without
them.Falling
for
Eliis
about
learning
to
break
a
sweat
rather
than
break
down,
to
try
your
best
even
if
you’ll
never
be
the
best;
it’s
about
learning
to
stand
on
your
own
six
feet.

“Nancy
Shulins’
fantastic
personal
journey
is
made
all
the
more
powerful
by
her
fierce
talent.
The
twice
Pulitzer
Prize-contending
journalist
knows
how
to
tell
a
story;
knows
how
to
bring
us
along…Like
the
very
best
memoirs,
Falling
for
Eli
is
a
wonderful
story,
but
it
is
also
so
much
more.
We
are
made,
in
a
way,
to
think
about
motherhood
and
how
the
definitions
around
it
have
changed
and
continue
to
change…One
of
my
top
picks
of
the
year.”Sunday
