Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Erin O'Neill came to the forgotten coalfields of Appalachia carrying a lifetime of grief and no intention of staying. Then she found the horses and knew life had put her there for a reason.Thousands of feral herds wandered the reclaimed mines, too wild to belong to anyone, too close to domestic lineage to be protected, surviving in a strange wilderness carved from the scars of industry. What began as an attempt to help a few broken animals became a promise made beneath the stars: to find a way to help them all.In the years that followed, Erin traded the life she knew for muddy haul roads, orphaned foals, battered old mules, and mountains that slowly stitched her broken heart back together. Somewhere along the way, the woman locals called the Horse Lady built what had never existed before: a sanctuary where forgotten horses and wounded land might finally heal together.But in the hidden hills along the Tug Fork, even beautiful things can become dangerous to protect.As industry closes in and an old mountain feud erupts around the sanctuary, Erin finds herself caught between corporate interests, local politics, violence, and a system where truth matters less than who has lived there longest. What follows is a fight not only for the horses and the mountains they call home, but for the woman Erin has become because of them.They Call Me the Horse Lady is a memoir of wild horses, broken heartstrings, extraordinary beauty, and the brutal cost of loving something enough to stand between it and the people determined to take it away.Above all, it is the story of discovering that sometimes keeping a promise does not mean refusing to leave-it means surviving long enough to find your way back.
