    <![CDATA[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 &lt;ST1:PLACE w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Mongolia&lt;/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION&gt;&lt;/ST1:PLACE&gt;, 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 &lt;ST1:PLACE w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Mongolia&lt;/ST1:COUNTRY-REGION&gt;&lt;/ST1:PLACE&gt;, 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.]]>
