Non-Fiction Biography
In this remarkable one-year journal, skilled horsewoman and
adventurer Laura Chester brings us into her world, where we
deeply connect with the earth and its seasons, with beauty
and sometimes danger. While riding in places as far-reaching as Mexico, Australia,
and India, Chester is always grateful to come home to the
comforts of her familiar horse. As they cover the borderland
of Arizona and the hills of Massachusetts, we get to know
Barranca as intimate companion, mediator between soul and
nature, whether entering the wilds of Cochise Stronghold or
picking Berkshire apples from the saddle. Carried along on waves of memory, released by the gaits of
her smooth-moving fox trotter, this literary memoir takes us
on a personal exploration as well—where family relationships
are fractured by anger, jealousy, illness, and death. With
the help of her big-hearted animal, Chester is able to
retrieve the past and find forgiveness. For as she says
—“Riding Barranca puts me in the moment, which is where I
want to live.”
