Jane Corkish brings a lifetime of listening to stories about trauma, grief, loss, and transcendence. Years spent alongside people during some of their most vulnerable moments have taught Jane the value of stillness, compassion, and attentive listening. Her professional work and writing are driven by an abiding belief in human resilience and Post-Traumatic Growth.
In Women of the Horse, that lifelong understanding becomes fiction: a multi-generational story of women confronting painful histories, discovering unexpected courage, and finding strength through connection. Her authentic knowledge of horses, healing, grief, and human resilience gives the novel its distinctive emotional authenticity.
Where Courage Finds Its Voice
Generations of women, carrying wounds of abandonment, violence, and grief, discover strength in unexpected places. Through the landscape of the forests of British Columbia and an eclectic community of horsewomen living in the 1960’s, Women of the Horse explores memory, identity, healing, and the bonds that help people thrive. It is a story about finding freedom without forgetting where you came from.
