"Home at Last: Stories from a Sanctuary," is a collection of moving and inspiring stories and essays that celebrate the sanctity of life and illuminate the peace and harmony that result when beings, animal or human, live according to their true nature -at home at last; a state of being as well as a place. The author, Jim Kyle, co-founder of the Home at Last Sanctuary, writes in a singular voice about his experiences of living amongst a huge herd of unadoptable, unwanted horses that he and Donna, his wife of 50 years, have given a caring and forever home. An assortment of donkeys, mules, calves, and goats have also found their way to this haven where each animal has a tale of being cast away to come to find healing and redemption being at home, at last, safe and secure until the end of their days. Jim tells their sometimes heart-breaking but ultimately uplifting stories with great compassion and tenderness. The book also contains musings about the value of every life and observations on everyday life lived amongst over 100 animals in their care. Informative essays about horsemanship and the true nature of equines are infused by Jim's great love of these magnificent creatures and will provide great food for thought.
