Horseplay

Horseplay Patty got up to peer into the refrigerator. Honey, don't look so guilty, she said. Men are like horses. If they're even-tempered and sweet, you stay on for the ride. If they buck and run around, you get off before you get hurt. She slammed the refrigerator door. Damn, we're out of cake. -from Horseplay: A NovelA debut novel full of sparkle and wit, Horseplay is a story of the animals that touch our hearts. and the men who try our souls. When Judy Van Brunt finally decides to leave her cheating husband, she makes immediate plans to quit her teaching job, take the money she inherited from her mother, and run off, leaving a note on her husband's pillow. There is only one problem: Where is she going? During her weekly riding lesson, her instructor makes a suggestion just crazy enough to work-and before she knows it, Judy has a position as a groom at an exclusive North Carolina horse farm. There, she shares an apartment with three remarkable women who also work at the farm, and she puts in long hours caring for the horses in addition to learning the demanding sport of dressage from the farm's owner, a former Olympic champion. Exhausted but fulfilled, she learns for herself that a horse in the barn is worth far more than a husband at home. Her housemates gladly supplement her education with lessons not found in the riding ring, such as how to avoid the farm's snootier patrons and weed out unsavory suitors. Her devotion to horses is far more rewarding than her marriage ever was-after all, horses never lie or cheat, and even the most hot-blooded stallion won't kick her when she's down. Nevertheless, her new life doesn't keep her away from men entirely. She findsher early vow of chastity and cheeseburgers weakening as she is drawn to one especially eligible bachelor. But after a few escapades with studs of the two-legged variety, is she really ready to be with someone? Set against the alternately glamorous and grimy world of competitive horse

Robert, my son, promise me that you will never give up all hope of him, never give up joining with your mother in prayer forhim, never grow tired of seeking him, never rest content until Alfred, your brother Alfred, comes home again to Thorpe Aspen, and to his father's God." These words, earnest words, were spoken by Farmer Atheling, as he lay back upon the pillow from which his good grey head will never more be lifted, except for his removal to his final resting-place beneath the spreading yew-trees in Thorpe Aspen churchyard, the sacred spot in which many generations of Athelings were laid asleep. By the bedside of the dying man was seated his eldest son, a fine-featured, stalwart young yeoman, of some six or seven and twenty years of age, whose fingers were held lovingly in the hand of his beloved and dying parent. The young man's grief at his impending loss wa.
