When the Horses Came

A good book - added to my collection.

An enchanting book

The author has managed to weave a tale of magical realism with language that is spare and uncluttered. Her characters are astutely drawn, with flaws and contradictions--but also courage and tenderness--that make them believable and likable. The setting and time are well rendered, and the premise of the story--how Native Americans first came to use horses--is an intriguing one.

Amanda Cockrell delivers a spell-binding read

This is a great book for anybody who has ever gone in search of their dreams. Out of Breath's quest for Horse works on so many levels. I found myself up late at night turning pages, and wondering about my own life quests. Kudos to Cockrell for writing a story full of rich prehistory details and much wisdom.
