I guess it's true ... as we age, books of memoirs become more interesting! Here's a good one: A Woman's Job is Never Done: Memoirs of an Equine Veterinary Surgeon to the Philadelphia Police Mounted Patrol, by M. Phyllis Lose and Deborah L. Fritz. Dr. Lose was one of the first women equine practitioners, and what stories she has to tell! On call 24/7, for days on end, sometimes she didn't even have time for meals. We meet a lot of the horses she worked on in this book, those brave animals and their humans that worked the streets in all kinds of weather and in all kinds of circumstances. I will call this a 'heroic' book for many reasons. (A warning, though, things don't always end well). A most interesting read.
