They say horses fill the gap between toys and boys and that was certainly the case for Kathryn, a pony-mad youngster who spent all her spare time at the local stables. Despite having reservations about marriage, she goes to university and falls in love with fellow student, and husband-to-be, Ian, at the tender age of 19. Before too long, equine pursuits and the thrilling sport of eventing become a shared passion for this plucky pair. It's the stuff of childhood dreams. Then tragedy strikes when Ian is diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. Kathryn's world is suddenly shattered into tiny, heart-breaking pieces as she is plunged into widowhood aged 37. It's testament to her fighting spirit and courage that she begins to rebuild her life, determined to live it to the full. Life Matters is an honest and heart-warming account of how therapy helped Kathryn discover who she really is and how 'angel signs' opened her mind to spirituality. Throughout, Kathryn's unwavering love of horses weaves a golden thread of faith, providing strength during the darkest of times. Regardless of whether you are on a similar journey or are just looking for guidance to help you through difficult times, Life Matters offers hope for all readers.
