What does a person do when she's suddenly thrust out of her happy life by a torrent of panic attacks that seem to have come out of nowhere and for which there appears to be no reprieve or end? She climbs onto a horse for the first time.

Let the Tornado Come is a riveting and courageous memoir about the determination of a child runaway to create the life she wants, the unexpected challenges she must face as adult living that life, and the fearful but huge-hearted horse who teaches her that the greatest freedom lies not in running from, but turning towards, those things that frighten us the most.
