Предисловие к новелле Сердце моё. Может вы удивитесь, но эта новелла об Испании, более точно об Андалусии, а ещё точнее о Коста дель Соль. Хотя я её назвала Сердце моё, потому что моё сердце многие годы уже здесь с этим народом. Я плачу с ними под слово курасон и смеюсь от загребающей тебя внезапно волны на этом берегу. Я возмущаюсь с ними несправедливо поделенной булочкой и неправильно сделанной сангрии и радуюсь на нескончаемых феериях видя танцующих дам в потрясающих манильских шалях, как тут говорят в третьем возрасте.

Award-winning author and celebrated neurosurgeon Allan J. Hamilton, MD, combines his understanding of the human brain with nearly 30 years' experience training horses to offer wisdom on such universal themes as leadership, motivation, ambition, and humility. The results are showcased in more than 100 thoughtful essays that treat working with horses as a metaphor for personal, professional, and spiritual growth.

Hope . . . From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one's instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communications, and releasing negative thoughts. Because survival depends on being highly tuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, horses sense human intentions rather than what a person offers in facial expressions, which creates a remarkable effect on the relationship between these two distinctly different species.
