About this listen

 In his deeply personal account, Rupert Isaacson tells the amazing story of his autistic son and his transformation through the healing power of horses.

From his home in Texas to the wilds of Mongolia, we follow the Isaacson family on an epic journey on horseback - a journey that would test their love, challenge their beliefs and change their lives.

Rohan's story was told how it was, warts and all, but mostly hopeful for a freer life for him and for his parents. I have been on the Mongolian steppes and how ever briefly, ridden one of the ponies. The description resonated strongly.

Beautifully crafted story/documentary of a healing and actual journey. Honest and genuine. A wonderful narrator who is the author. Now I’m looking forward to watching the movie on you tube.

And part of the proceeds of book sales go back to therapy support for families in need.

Absolutely loved the journey this book took me on. Written and narrated by a father whose love for his child is felt, as you are given a tiny insight into the world of living with autism. I laughed, gasped, cried and cheered my way to the end. Ticked pink to find that my purchase of the title, will allow them to offer scholarships to families that can not afford equine therapy.

An amazing journey

Loved every word. It educated me on the life and struggles of an autistic child family, even though I thought I had a pretty good idea on the reality, it really opened my mind. Thank you Rupert and Kristen for taking this extraordinary journey for your son and sharing it with the world.
