Wild Horses on the Salt
Book Feature - Wild Horses on the Salt by Anne Montgomery
HBL Note: Anne Montgomery was an early supporter of Hasty Book List. She first reached out to me in November of 2017, I hadn’t even been blogging for a year! I reviewed her book The Scent of Rain (more of a reading log as I wrote about it each day I read the book) and wrote a feature of A Light in the Desert. Check out the review of The Scent of Rain for great pics of my vacation to Cabo, too. Aw, I miss being able to travel! Anyway, I was excited to hear from Anne again about her latest novel, Wild Horses on the Salt. Scroll down to read more!
From the publisher:
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?
