Product Description
LOVING LARRY the true story of a man worth loving, a God worth trusting and an equine sport worth celebrating. Loving Larry is a riveting page-turner that reads like a good novel. Penny Wormet has written an honest, heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting story of Elaine Hall's struggle to hold her family and life together in the face of her husband Larry's severe bipolar disease and eventual death. Deftly woven through Wormet's narrative is the story of Larry Hall Cutting Horses, home of some of the foremost performance horses in the world. Saddle up for a great ride! ~Sally Harrison, Author/Editor A Tribute to the Lady . . . Expected to fail in a business where men prevail, the grief stricken widow of Larry Hall drew strength from devout, unwavering faith. With profound love, she endured the numbing tragedy of Larry's mental illness. With dauntless determination, effervescent personality and business savvy based on common sense, she carried on the dream that continues to thrive in the cutting horse industry.

This book was fantastic from cover to cover, if you are into horses or not there is much to learn from the passion of Elaine Hall and her faith in the Lord along with preseverance, Penny did a beautiful job of introducing each player with enough information to easily remember who played what part in the ups and downs of Larry and Elaine's lives...BEST BOOK I HAVE READ IN YEARS.

I know nothing about horses but a friend let me borrow this book and it made me look at myself and all the good I have around me. She loved her husband and had such a strong faith in the Lord that her problems seemed to be able to be overcome. It makes you feel better, just reading the book. I could not put it down, I had to keep reading. The author puts so much into the book, it's a must read. I'm waiting for her next one with anticipation.

I really enjoyed reading it, even though I didn't totally follow all of the horse information, foal history. The story was put together so well, flowed together with thoughts and feelings. After I was done reading the book I felt so much admiration for Elaine to live as she has. What an inspiring woman!! I alternated between chuckles and tears during the book.
Penny is a great author who captured the essence of Elaine, from her great faith, to the love for her family.

Loving Larry is touching story of love with the trials of real life thrown in. It was written in a way that I felt the love and pain through which this family lived. This book shows how the faith of one person can change many lifes - something that we see to little of but all can learn from.
If one book can make you grateful for what you have, restore your faith and appreciate life - this one is it.
