Riding Fences is a memoir in poems that illustrates the author's heroic pilgrimage of finding her way back home to herself.
The first step toward healing from childhood sexual abuse-and all abuse-is to admit that it happened. What comes next is a rough, jagged road . . . one that's impossible to walk alone.
When Christin Marie Staszesky was ready to face her own history, she had her herd by her side. Surrounded by horses-her truest companions-she took her first steps on her healing journey. In powerful, heartrending poems, Staszesky recounts the wreckage of abuse and its aftermath, and how her love and devotion to horses helped her rebuild emotional fences to reclaim safety, self-love, and trust for her body, mind, spirit, and heart.
Riding Fences is an evocative personal tribute-and an exaltation of stepping into your own strength.
