About Wisdom of The Horse

An adventure of the mind & spirit

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be on the edge of your seat.

Author Cali Canberra has once again ushered in a new genre of fiction by crafting a richly textured story of genuine compassion that strikes a balance between inspirational and mysterious.

A bittersweet story melding three families in a touching novel of friendship and heartache, Wisdom Of The Horse is filled with engrossing characters — profound in their understanding of human nature and horses — that are the kind of people you wish were part of your life.

When a Native American family, a wealthy Texan, and a nearly destitute mother hiding a dark secret that could send her to prison embark on a wilderness horseback riding and camping adventure, they touch each others lives in ways none of them could have predicted. Their shared journey becomes one of self-discovery as they face challenges, experience losses, and reap the rewards of facing their fears. In the midst of the experience, one special horse becomes the hero, saving and changing lives. Meanwhile, Greg Bordeaux, a fallen icon from the Arabian horse industry’s golden age, resurfaces during the U.S. Arabian Nationals peddling his latest business opportunity to a new and unsuspecting audience.

Thought provoking and vividly told, Canberra’s latest novel revolves around old-fashioned family values, relationships, depression, and assisted suicide.

The book is as warm-hearted as it is gut-wrenching.

What people are saying about Wisdom Of The Horse:

"I finished reading the book at 3:30 this morning. I had gone to bed much earlier but was so restless to finish it that I couldn't sleep. It was a thrilling story and had many moments of humor and suspense which really kept me pushing to get to the next chapter. You are truly a terrific writer...you deserve much success." ~ Dick Calafato

"This novel reveals Canberra's wonderful ability to see the sacred among the mundane. It touched me in so many ways. Beautifully written with an unhurried pace, Wisdom Of The Horse gave me the relaxation I craved during a stressful time in my life." ~ Susan Graham

"Cali proved that she can write an uplifting and emotional story. To be honest, based upon her first three books (which I loved also) I was surprised that she had this kind of story inside her. Wisdom Of The Horse is masterfully heart-wrenching and powerfully full of hope." ~ Barb Holmsted

"I've read all of Cali's books and will read anything she writes, but I must say, Wisdom Of The Horse is incredible. Parts of it are not for the faint at heart, but if your spirit has ever been broken, this book will restore you. It resonated with me, inexplicably making my life somehow better because of its ultimate message." ~ Jason Tredeau

"While Wisdom Of The Horse is both entertaining and insightful, ultimately, as the events in the story teeter between courage and crises, I loved Cali's uncanny ability to have her characters face adversity, like we all do. The book kept me intrigued and inspired me. I can't explain the impression it made on me. I've told everyone I know to buy this book and read it!" ~ Mary Beck

"I loved how Grayson's horses, his farm, and nature were his refuge and path forward from personal tragedy. That character is a remarkable ordinary man leading and extraordinary life. I recommend this seamless story to anyone who has an intimate love or knowledge about horses, and for anyone who is dealing with the loss of a loved one." ~ Mike Worthington

"How anyone can write a book that combines Greg Bordeaux (from Trading Paper & Buying Time), spirituality, Native American wisdom, big money, and love is beyond me - but Cali did it, and did it perfectly!" ~ Randi Forsyth

"Shin Crow captured the very essence of all I aspire to be as a person and and horsewoman. Cali beautifully composed an inspirational journey of grace, humility and unconscious resolve, all while entertaining me and keeping me on the edge of my seat in the adventure scenes." ~ Ann Pratt
