Wild Horses on the Salt

De: Anne Montgomery

Narrado por: Patricia Shade

A woman flees an abusive husband and finds hope in the wilds of the Arizona desert.

Rebecca Quinn escapes her controlling husband and, with nowhere else to go, hops the red-eye to Arizona. There, Gaby Strand - her aunt’s college roommate - gives her shelter at the Salt River Inn, a 1930’s guesthouse located in the wildly beautiful Tonto National Forest.

Becca struggles with post-traumatic stress, but is enthralled by the splendor and fragility of the Sonoran Desert. The once aspiring artist meets Noah Tanner, a cattle rancher and beekeeper, Oscar Billingsley, a retired psychiatrist and avid birder, and a blacksmith named Walt. Thanks to her new friends and a small band of wild horses, Becca adjusts to life in the desert and rekindles her love of art.

Then, Becca’s husband tracks her down, forcing her to summon all her strength. But can she finally stop running away?

details

Well written story sprinkled with facts about the Salt River. Great story, vivid characters, very touching

Surviving

It was a little drawn out . It would’ve been better if it had gotten to the point quicker.

Missing chapter

it was over all good.. got to chapter 92 but it was chapter 95 instead

Loved this

Great story- loved how the story of the troubled lady intertwined with the horses that are in trouble- fast fun read!

salt river review

I enjoyed listening and loved the information given through out the story. I am always Amazed how humans treat nature with such disregard along with the amount of abuse animals and Humans endure from other humans. I recently flooded the salt and I was azed at how clear the water. Definitely cleaner than expected but people really need do better at leave no trace.

Confusing a little

It skipped chapter 92. So confused about Noah and Becca's date and then horse riding.

A bit moralistic.

An interesting premise not fulfilled by its promise because it’s preachy and its descriptions leave little to the imagination. Seems to be more interested in being informative than narrative.

Too sad

Kept waiting for some action or mystery but nothing happened except sadness with the animals. With four hrs left I couldn’t bring myself to finish
