In this witty and introspective memoir, Anna Blake shares her love of horses and roadtrips. Traveling thousands of miles towing her Rollin' Rancho, with her copilot Mister (a Cardigan Corgi) she introduces us to the beauty of the country she travels through, the perils of being on the road as a woman, and the insights she's gleaned from her years as an artist, and now as a horse instructor and clinician. Filled with clever writing and bold ideas, the overarching mood of "Undomesticated Women" is one of kindness and a rough hope that Blake holds in both fists.
