Set in the Pacific Northwest, Rain Shadow tells the tale of an abandoned, savagely wounded mare that forms a bond with a lonely young woman struggling to rebuild her life after suffering devastating loss. Inspired, in part, by a true story, Rain Shadow offers a compelling and tender look into the healing power of the human-animal bond. It is a timely exploration of the increasingly popular and effective use of horses in therapy, by award-winning writer Catherine Madera. Madera paints a story rich with complicated individuals—both human and animal—and uses culture and geography unique to the area to enhance the plot.

I will definitely be re-reading "Rain Shadow" again! It doesn't matter that Rain is a horse and that Taylor is a young lady, they both are actually very similar. They both have been hurt and let down by the very people in their lives who should have protected them and loved them unconditionally. They both have trust issues and they both carry scars, one though carries them more internally while the other has more visible scars. I loved how descriptive the author was, when Taylor laid her head on Rain's back and breathed in her smell and heard her heartbeat I could almost smell and hear what Taylor could. I truly savored this book, I didn't want to read through it too fast as I didn't want to miss one single thing in it and I also didn't want this book to end too soon. I actually would limit myself on how many pages I'd read in a sitting the closer I came to the end. As Taylor and Rain both started healing from their hurts I found myself letting go of some of the "hurts" in my own life, you truly can't help but be touched by this story. This is a book that speaks right to your heart! The human/animal bond and the healing that very often takes place as a result of that bond is an amazing, wonderful thing! There is a note at the end that gives more detail about the "real life" inspiration for this book and also a very informative guide about treating trauma with horses "Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy". I hope you will enjoy this book just as much as I did!Product details

Rain Shadow edition by Catherine Madera Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
I have very mixed feelings about this book.
On the one hand, I thought the characters were very well-written. The heroine's internal struggles were believable, and her emotional journey was slow but riveting. All addition characters were well fleshed out, and the dialogue was excellent.
On t'other hand, there seemed to be a 'pro-life' message running through the book that felt rather heavy handed. The heroine's main point of anguish is the abortion she had a year before the book begins. Now, I recognise that this can be a very hard choice for some women (especially young ones), and that some do regret their decision. However, other elements of the story, such as a seeming distaste for prenatal testing to detect profound birth defects, the later element of adoption, and the idea that ALL women at the clinic were traumatized, made it seem as if the REAL story here was that abortion is wrong and soul-destroying. This is not a view I share.
That said, the plot was good and, as I mentioned, I felt the characters were well written. I didn't think there was enough about the horse, Rain, though. Much more of the story is about the emotional development and growth of the characters, as well as their relationship to each other.
I also did not like the ending. I feel she sold something that was of historical and emotional significance to her family and therefore her loved ones. It felt jarring to me and was not the uplifting end note I had expected.
Overall, I'd recommend it if readers feel they can wade through the 'pro-life' message, with the understanding that this book's primary character is NOT the horse. If you're looking for the horse's journey on every page, you will be disappointed.
A beautifully written, poignant story about a young women whose life is permanently altered by the decision to have an abortion. Her journey towards healing begins when she moves near her mother and adopts a horse who had been shot in the head and left to die. The author artistically weaves a tale of how a soul can heal with the love of friends, the trust of a horse, and God's mercy and grace.
To finally read a story that throws light on the burning pain left after an abortion and the cool relief of God's forgiveness. The bond that grows between the girl and this beautiful horse helps her to realize, for the first time in her life, that she was deserving of God's grace. That He can see each and every life that He has created as the miracle it is and He loves it - scars, flaws and all.
Good read, I think it's more of a growing up situation. The book has some spacing errors, do at times I had to stop and figure out what the words were. Otherwise a fun read.
I belong to an equine rescue group. Horses have a way of thanking you for saving them. Out of a herd of rescues recently done by us.
There was an old stallion that had been tied to a tree for 1 and 1/2 years. He was so thankful, he was brushed, watered, fed, hayed and loved on, he struggled to stay with us, but sadly on the second day he could not go any more. But at least he left here with some food in his stomach and lots of hugging and talking to. I shall always remember him, and his ability to love a human.
Wonderful story about the struggles and trials of a young woman venturing on her own. Taylor is strong and confident and follows her own path despite being pulled by the influences of family. The writer writes very eloquently and her style pulls you into this lovely story which I enjoyed very much.
I read extensively across many genres. Some books leave me satisfied, some enriched, and then there are those that lift me--fill me with a measure of light. Rain Shadow is one of those rare and choice books. I could speak on the fine quality of character development, the gentle theme nestled in the title that threads through the pages, or the excellent writing. I choose to simply leave you with how this book affected me it nourished my mind, heart, and soul with light. Catherine Madera, thank you.
