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.

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.
