When I Was a Horse And Other Stories

"Seventeen stories gallop, frolic, and slither across the pages of this collection of stories by Mexican author Brianda Domecq. A pet canary is caught between her nesting instinct and her desire for solitude. A jaguar serves as a guardian spirit and inspiration to a middle-aged woman searching for a better life. On a beach in Mexico, a turtle is caught in the desperate cycle of poverty that haunts human existence. And in the title story, a young girl is transformed every day during recess into a wild stallion, whose fate, like that of the mustangs in the western United States, is determined by the actions of cowboys."--BOOK JACKET.Domecq, Brianda is the author of 'When I Was a Horse And Other Stories ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780875653259 and ISBN 0875653251.
