Summary

The comical tales of a new mum on her journey from postnatal depression to the dawning of her self-worth as she discovers adventure, friendship, and the healing power of horses.

Join Grace as she battles her negative thought patterns and fears among a backdrop of eccentric characters, pampered farm animals, and the glorious Yorkshire countryside.

Wisdom comes from unexpected sources leading Grace to a psychological and spiritual awakening of the true meaning of motherhood. While an elderly, opinionated pony teaches her how to love her daughter, a scary young sports horse teaches her how to relax and enjoy life again. Just watch out for the goats....

For fans of James Herriot and Ruby Ferguson’s Jill books, The Yard is a hilarious and heartwarming, feel-good listen.

5* I Love this book!

The Yard is a real, down-to-earth story that captured my heart from the beginning.

There is a rich cast of characters, each one absolutely brilliant. The narrator's performance was outstanding - I hope she reads the next book, "The Farm".

I was completely invested in Grace's journey, and I was genuinely sad when the book ended. In fact, I immediately started listening again to rejoin the girls!

Thank you, Grace, for sharing your story with the world.

Brilliant!

Really enjoyed this book, a must read for horse lovers. Am upset that I’ve finished it and really hope Grace writes another one!
