The Big Quiet

One Woman's Horseback Ride Home

By: Lisa Stewart

Narrated by: Lisa D. Stewart

At 54, Lisa Stewart set out to regain the fearless girl she once had been, riding her horse, Chief, 500 miles home. Hot, homeless, and horseback, she snapped back into every original cell. On an extraordinary homegoing from Kansas City to Bates and Vernon Counties in Missouri, Lisa exhausted herself, faced her past, trusted strangers, and stayed in the middle of her frightened horse to document modern rural America, the people, animals, and land.

Fantastic Journey!

This book is fantastic! Anyone can resonate with Lisa's story of revisiting her past at the slow pace astride her horse, allowing the memories and the insights to flow at will. As someone who lived in the Midwest for almost two decades, I resonated with many of the things she shared about her encounters, yet learned so much more. And even if you don't have a Midwestern experience, you will definitely come to understand how the region and the lives of its peoples have so many parallels to those in other cultures, just in a different setting. I highly recommend this book! You will be delighted and inspired by Lisa's remarkable journey.
