What The Reviewers Say

... deeply moving.

You don’t need to know anything about the titular subject of Courtney Maum’s The Year of the Horses to appreciate this candid and engaging memoir of how rediscovering a long-abandoned passion helped lift her out of a crisis..
ALYSSA WITBECK ALEXANDER,
The Chicago Review of Books
The crux of this memoir is in the strength of a mother developing her own self outside of the cultural rigidity of motherhood, and then bringing her child into that space. When Maum nurtures her inner desires, her mothering doesn’t suffer. It improves.
Joan Curbow,
Booklist
Many women may find much to relate to in Maum’s vulnerable and human story, which could be a favorite for book clubs..
