false 4897884 7 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 <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Mongolia</st1:country-region></st1:place>, the one place in the world where horses and shamanic healing intersected? <BR><BR>THE HORSE BOY is the dramatic and heartwarming story of that impossible adventure. In <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Mongolia</st1:country-region></st1:place>, 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. 4963349 14 4 2009 The Horse Boy: A Father's Story total:228|5:81|4:82|3:50|2:15|1:0| 228 913 457 109 5 0 false false Sat Nov 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 19:02:21 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 13:57:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Oct 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 14:56:26 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 07:49:55 -0700 2009
