A pseudo horse manual/a memoir masquerading as a guide to horse purchasing, management, and competing. Based on Hilary's motto, "Do as I say, not as I do," the book describes her two decades of blatant ineptitude in all areas of English horsemanship in four different countries. By detailing how well she is now doing in competitions -- with the inevitable blips, of course -- Hilary gives a message of hope to even the most seasoned horse bumbler. Reading this book will dramatically improve your horse life!

Father Peter, parish priest of Brotherton village in England, is accused of sexual abuse. Against Catholic teaching, his sister pays a local girl to be her surrogate mother, and a fellow priest commits suicide rather than face his own allegations of sexual abuse.
