She Rides Wild Horses: The Rugged, Real-Life Story of an Unbreakable Woman

At 17, Wyoming cowgirl Jess Camilla O’Neal had everything going for her: a homecoming queen crown, a promising career in musical theater, a recording contract, and a scholarship to the school of her choice. All that changed in a moment when a freak accident shattered her legs and came close to shattering her spirit. This captivating book tells the story of Jess’s wild ride toward recovery, repeated run-ins with tragedy, and triumphant emergence as a fun and feisty horsewoman, singer-songwriter, theatrical director, and force to be reckoned with. A combination of Cheryl Strayed’s deep-soul adventure, and the spiritual sensuousness of Elizabeth Gilbert’s O'Neal's invites you to look at life with vigor, laughter, and awareness of the joy that can be found even in imperfection.
