false 6310995 1 Writer Lisa Jones went to Wyoming for a four-day magazine assignment and came home four years later with a new life.<P>At a dusty corral on the Wind River Indian Reservation, she met Stanford Addison, a Northern Arapaho who seemed to transform everything around him. He gentled horses rather than breaking them by force. It was said that he could heal people of everything from cancer to bipolar disorder. He did all this from a wheelchair; he had been a quadriplegic for more than twenty years.<P>Intrigued, Lisa sat at Stanford's kitchen table and watched. She saw neighbors from the reservation and visitors from as far away as Holland bump up the dirt road to his battered modular home, seeking guidance and healing for what had broken in their lives. She followed him into the sweat lodge -- a framework of willow limbs covered with quilts -- where he used prayer and heat to shrink tumors and soothe agitated souls. Standing on his sun-blasted porch, pit bulls padding past her, she felt the vibration from thundering bands of Arabian horses that Stanford's young nephews brought to the ring to train.<P>And she listened to his story. Stanford spent his teenage years busting broncs, seducing girls, and dealing drugs. At twenty, he left the house for another night of partying. By morning, a violent accident had robbed him of his physical prowess and left in its place unwelcome spiritual powers -- an exchange so shocking that Stanford spent several years trying to kill himself. But eventually he surrendered to his new life and mysterious gifts.<P>Over the years Lisa was a frequent visitor to Stanford's place, the reservation and its people worked on her, exposing and healing the places where she, too, was broken.<P><I>Broken</i> entwines her story with Stanford's, exploring powerful spirits, material poverty, spiritual wealth, friendship, violence, confusion, death, and above all else,"a love that comes before and after and above and below romantic love." 6496165 12 5 2009 Broken: A Love Story total:40|5:14|4:15|3:6|2:4|1:1| 40 157 136 24 4 1 false false Thu Mar 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 19:52:01 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 05 20:11:14 -0800 2009 freed him to soar), but "...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun May 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 10 08:52:18 -0700 2009 Sun May 10 08:52:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Apr 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 07:37:50 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 07:48:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 1 false false Fri May 01 18:46:57 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 18:53:12 -0700 2009 freed him to soar), but "...more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun May 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 16:16:31 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 16:20:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 06:07:02 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 16:21:12 -0700 2009
