Book Synopsis

Rupert Isaacson''s The Horse Boy is one family''s epic journey to rescue their son.

Rupert and Kirstin Isaacson were heartbroken when they learned that their two-year-old son Rowan was autistic. And with each passing day, Rowan''s growing isolation, his uncontrollable fits, each failed treatment, filled them with despair.

Then one day Rowan escaped and ran into a field of horses. Rupert watched in horror - but saw a miracle occur. The horses responded lovingly to Rowan - and he to them. Could Rowan''s affinity with these animals save their son from his condition?

The Isaacsons left their home in Texas and travelled to the plains and mountains of Mongolia - the spiritual home of the horse - risking everything - their happiness, future and sanity - on an arduous epic horseback journey in search of a cure for Rowan . . .
