Author Grace Olson joins host Gretchen Lida from across the pond in this episode of HN Reads. Her new memoir, The Yard: How A Horse Healed My Heart, chronicles how returning to horses can return us to ourselves. After a years-long battle with postpartum depression, Grace takes up riding again at the suggestion of a massage client/show jumper named Alexa. Set in Yorkshire, this book is a romp-full of amazing horses and people, including Valerie, an eccentric, larger-than-life boarding barn owner. This conversation spans far beyond the book, however, delving into Grace's work in equine therapy, where her terminally ill patients often have breakthroughs in the presence of horses.
