At this very moment, for the peoples and the nations of the earth, may not even the names disease, famine, war, and suffering be heard.
Rather may their moral conduct, merit, wealth, and prosperity increase, and may supreme good fortune and wellbeing always arise for them.

Annotation:
    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 Mongolia, the one place in the world where
    horses and shamanic healing intersected?

    "The Horse Boy" is the dramatic and heartwarming story of that
    impossible adventure.  In Mongolia, 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.

Author Biography:
    Rupert Isaacson was born in London to a South African mother
    and a Zimbabwean father.  Isaacson's first book, The Healing
    Land (Grove Press), was a 2004 New York Times Notable Book.  
    He has travelled extensively in Africa, Asia, and North America
    for the British press and now lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife,
    Kristin, and their son, Rowan.
