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 <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Mongolia</st1:country-region></st1:place>, 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 <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Mongolia</st1:country-region></st1:place>, 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.
