The Yard

"Feel-good, laugh out loud funny, yet also deeply moving..." "The way Grace has written about her mental health issues and woven it around the story is inspirational and will strike a chord with many readers" The comical tales of a new mum on her journey from post-natal depression to the dawning of her self-worth as she discovers adventure, friendship and the healing power of horses. Join Grace as she battles her negative thought patterns and fears amongst a backdrop of eccentric characters, pampered farm animals and the glorious Yorkshire countryside. Wisdom comes from unexpected sources leading Grace to a psychological and spiritual awakening of the true meaning of motherhood. While an elderly, opinionated pony teaches her how to love her daughter, a scary young sports horse teaches her how to relax and enjoy life again. Just watch out for the goats... For fans of James Herriot and Ruby Ferguson's Jill books, The Yard is a hilarious and heart-warming, joy to read.
