Book of the Month

Every now and then we encounter a new book that we’re so excited about we want to shout it from the rooftops, so we've created a special tag to distinguish it from the rest: Tattered Cover Book of the Month (formerly called Tattered Cover V.I.B.)!  

Our latest selection is:

Half Broke by Ginger Gaffney

This memoir touches intently on what it is to be human and what is animal in us. While Ginger Gaffney works as a horse trainer on an alternative prison ranch in New Mexico, she is really living into her notion that honesty and accountability are far more present in the ways that we move through the world than anything we could ever say out loud. She is there to show the creatures inhabiting the land to be mirrors for any and all human behavior— in devastating and in utterly redemptive ways. I thank her a million times over for writing down what she’s taught and what she’s learned. Every single person who touches the earth we live on needs more of Ginger’s voice in their head.
