Wild Horses Don't Stop at Whoa: Stories and Poems

The thunder of wild hooves echoes through these meditations on the scars we acquire in childhood and those we inflict as adults. With biting poetry, Mart?nez roots out those moments in life that define us, exploring the reality of being a woman in a time when everyone has a differing opinion on just what a woman should be. And in three interconnected stories, Martinez introduces us to three women, each one struggling to put tragedy behind them. An unfaithful woman confronts the consequences of her own choices; a widow stares down her husband's murderer; and a daughter contemplates the impending death of the father who abandoned her. As a whole, this unique collection delves into that longing we all have for wildness, passion, adventure, and the strength to let the past go.
