In the rolling fields of the Deep South, where the bonds between humans and animals run deeper than the soil, Horses Who Made Me–Me! takes you on an emotional journey of love, loss, and self-discovery.

Dee Jordan built her life around horses—magnificent creatures that offered her joy, purpose, and a connection to something greater than herself. From the spirited Lipizzans she raised to the beloved Freyja, who taught her about strength and resilience, Dee’s equine companions shaped her world as she navigated the triumphs and tragedies of marriage, motherhood, and mental health.

But life was far from idyllic. Faced with the betrayal of her soulmate, the crumbling of her marriage, and her struggles with bipolar disorder, Dee found herself at the edge of despair. Through it all, the horses–and her daughter Joy—offered her a lifeline, reminding her of the strength she thought she’d lost.

This unflinching memoir weaves heartwarming tales of Pony Club triumphs and trail rides with searing accounts of betrayal, guilt, and redemption. A love letter to the horses who shaped her and a testament to the power of perseverance, Horses Who Made Me–Me! is a moving portrait of a Southern woman’s determination to find herself in the chaos.

Dee's story will resonate long after the last page is turned, perfect for readers who cherish tales of grit, grace, and the healing power of animals.
