Reviews
"...a fantastic story of perseverance that is historical and deeply personal..." -- Cameron Kennedy Life, Red Deer Advocate, 28th June 2006., "Ride the Rising Wind is not nostalgia, however. The book is brave and forward looking as an example of a young woman trusting in tomorrow. ...There's a big spirit in this...[it] is a work to treasure." -- Veronica Ross, The Record, Canada, June 17th 2006.
Synopsis
In May 1949, at the age of twenty, Barbara Kingscote left her farm in Mascouche, Quebec, and set out for the Pacific Ocean on horseback. Barbara and her equine companion Zazy reached the West Coast just over a year later, after travelling 4 miles and discovering the heart of this great country. Ride the Rising Wind reveals Canada through the fresh eyes of a brave young woman discovering both herself and her country on the journey of a lifetime., In May 1949#44; at the age of twenty#44; Barbara Kingscote left her farm in Mascouche#44; Quebec#44; and set out for the Pacific Ocean on horseback#46; Barbara and her equine companion Zazy reached the West Coast just over a year later#44; after travelling 4#44000 miles and discovering the heart of this great country#46; Ride the Rising Wind reveals Canada through the fresh eyes of a brave young woman discovering both herself and her country on the journey of a lifetime#46;

- v***v (2065)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
