Sinossi

This unique collection sheds light on the short but momentous historical period that changed the course of history and the man this era is named after.

The goal of this edition is to uncover the real man behind the symbols and the evolution of his character.

    This book is a heart-stopping journey told in first person, which describes unusual courage and uncanny luck. It is the true story of a 13-year-old boy who lost everything during the Holocaust. He fought to live on in spite of ghettos, fatal line-ups, enslavement in work camps, and years of survival as a partisan in Polish forests. 
From the cover: "His mother had to make a quick decision that no parent would ever want to make. Which of her children had the best chance to survive this calamity? Her son. Anschel, was the oldest and strongest. The two girls had to stay with her no matter what was coming."

    He was a slave who became a cupbearer.  He was a cupbearer who became a king’s emissary.  He was an emissary who became a leader.  And he was a leader who became a legend.  All because he was a faithful servant of the Most High God.  Consider his story — the portion you may already know … and the rest of the story that could have been.

    "This memoir seems written directly from Hemp’s soul, as she beautifully shares her moving story of learning to love and trust again after loss."--Booklist  
 
Christine Hemp's debut work of nonfiction, Wild Ride Home, is a brilliant memoir, looping themes of finding love and losing love, of going away and coming home, of the wretched course of Alzheimer's, of cancer, of lost pregnancies, of fly fishing and horsemanship, of second chances, and, ultimately, of the triumph of love and family--all told within the framework of the training of a little white horse named Buddy.  
 
Wild Ride Home invites the reader into the close Hemp family, which believes beauty and humor outshine the most devastating circumstances. Such optimism is challenged when the author suffers a series of blows: a dangerous fiancé, her mother’s dementia, unexpected death and illness. Buddy, a feisty, unforgettable little Arabian horse with his own history to overcome, offers her a chance to look back on her own life and learn to trust again, not only others, but more importantly, herself. Hemp skillfully guides us through a memoir that is, despite devastating loss, above all, an ode to joy.
