New York - As the creator of the beloved Benji series, Joe Camp has spent most of his life luring us into the heart and soul of a floppy-eared dog, but now in this engaging, emotional, and often humorous story, he deftly lures us into the heart and soul of a horse.

Written for everyone who has ever loved a horse or even loved the idea of loving a horse, this memoir leads us on a riveting voyage of discovery as Joe and his wife Kathleen navigate uncharted, often politically incorrect territory on their way to discovering an astonishing truth that will change traditional thinking about horses forever.

It all begins when Joe received a surprise birthday gift from Kathleen. As complete neophytes, Joe and Kathleen were without a clue as to what horses needed or wanted, but they plunged head first into this new world and the result is THE SOUL OF A HORSE: Life Lessons from the Herd (Harmony Books; On-sale April 29, 2008; Hardcover).

The parallel journeys of a fabled herd in the wild and a wide-eyed couple thrust into the enigmatic world of horses are charmingly blended into a riveting expedition of discovery about relationships, choices, trust, and love. One that will change traditional thinking about horses forever.
