Publisher Description

When his son Rowan was diagnosed with autism, Rupert Isaacson was devastated, afraid he might never be able to communicate with his child. But when Isaacson, a lifelong horseman, rode their neighbor's horse with Rowan, Rowan improved immeasurably. He was struck with a crazy idea: why not take Rowan to Mongolia the one place in the world where horses and shamanic healing intersected?

The Horse Boy is the dramatic and heartwarming story of that impossible adventure. In Mongolia, the family found undreamed of landscapes and people, unbearable setbacks, and advances beyond their wildest dreams. This is a deeply moving, truly one-of-a-kind story--of a family willing to go to the ends of the earth to help their son, and of a boy learning to connect with the world for the first time.

wow

This was an incredible journey to read and imagine. Although it's a quite serious look at the impact animals can have on people living within the Austism spectrum, Rupert Isaacson has found plenty of opportunities to make tongue in cheek jokes.

I highly recommend this to anyone. Horse lover, parent of an developmentally delayed child ... it doesn't mattter. This will still amaze you.
