Mestengo : A Wild Mustang, a Writer on the Run, and the Power of the Unexpected Hardback
by Melinda Roth
Hardback
Description
Exhausted by her job as a political press secretary, Melinda Roth found the courage to escape.
Her goal: a simpler life in rural Illinois that would let her pursue her passion for writing.
But then real life intervened. A fire at a neighboring farm and a misinterpreted gesture of kindness transformed her into the reluctant caretaker of a homeless menagerie of animals.
Roth, coauthor of the New York Times-bestseller From Baghdad with Love, writes vividly, movingly, and often humorously of the chaos that descended into her life.
One of her new tenants was a wild mustang, broken but not bowed, his restless spirit propelling him to escape the fences and pens that enclosed him—a far different life than before he was violently captured by a government-sponsored "round-up." Ultimately these two fiercely independent characters each provide the catalyst for the other's life-changing and life-affirming decisions.
Mestengo is a captivating, emotional account that taps into readers' love of animals: Marley and Me meets The Horse Whisperer.
An entertaining and delightful read, it is a cinematic, sometimes tense, but always beautiful story of the power of healing.
