I've been wanting to write something jewel-like, but maybe what I want isn't exactly the point. The hatchet sank into my knee. My hands were numb from the vibrations of peeling the bark from oak fence posts all day long. First I crouched from the pain, then when I stood up I was so dizzy. It was a beautiful evening in summer. A weightless sky. A light yellow, indistinct sun, a washed-out blue and my lover didn't want to stop what he was doing up on the hill in order to help. So I walked down the ridge road myself and found the simple stream, not much of a stream really. I sat in it in my blue jeans. I tore the leg off of one where I had sliced into my knee, and watched the blood make a delicate weave with the water. The water and sky the same empty color, like 7-Up. -Carole Stoa Senn Shamu, Splash \u0026amp; Solemn - Carole would put horses, rather than herself, at the center of her story - is a necessarily fragmented account of how a talented and lovely young life was ravaged twice by violent attacks against which she had no way to defend herself. -From the preface by Emilio DeGrazia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Gerber,Emilio DeGrazia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0996890920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996890922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lost Lake Folk Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Anne Gerber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438101573887,"sku":"9780996890922","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bdac119-f45c-491d-b1bd-4951a5b83b06.jpg?v=1777168820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shamu-splash-solemn-anne-gerber-9780996890922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
