When Horses Had Wings: Kindle Book of the Day 12/4

Today's bargain book of the day comes to us from author Diana Estill. Her novel When Horses Had Wings has an incredibly high rating and an incredibly touching story that goes along with it. But don't think her story about the troubled life of a pregnant teen will be completely depressing and painful. Estill's actually got a background as a humor writer, and I've got a feeling some of that will shine through in this novel in the form of triumph over adversity and a satisfying climax. Do yourself a favor and give this one a look!

Name: When Horses Had Wings
Rating: 4.5 stars over 42 reviews
Price: 4.99
Description: Pregnant at 16, Renee Goodchild drops out of school and marries. Now she’s trapped in rural Texas with Kenny, her violent, garbage-collecting husband. A bleak future seems assured until she meets self-appointed relationship guru, Pearly.

“That’s why you don’t let ‘em rule the roost. ’Cause you can’t count on ‘em to be there the next mornin’ when it’s time to crow,” the worldly Pearly advises.

Renee narrates this tale of ruin and redemption where the damaged and downtrodden lead each other to unintended, sometimes heartbreaking, and often bittersweet outcomes. When Horses Had Wings examines the lives of broken people competing for the most basic needs: the primal urge for affection and the eternal search for acceptance.

Reviews: "While "When Horses Had Wings" is certainly a poignant tale, it is not a depressing, oppressive book. This is largely due in part, I think, to the wonderful prose found in the story. Ms. Estill is a true wordsmith and not only did I enjoy the actual story itself, it was a separate pleasure just to read the words. The story is narrated by Renee, and her self-deprecating nature ensured that even a good bit of humor found its way into the book. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Estill's work."
