Description:
Just as Robert Redford is not a typical movie star, Gretel Ehrlich is not some run-of-the-mill hack hired to bat out a "making-of" book for a movie. Ehrlich is a prizewinning writer with grants from the NEA and the Guggenheim Foundation, and she knows her way around the wide-open spaces of The Horse Whisperer, Nicholas Evans's adventure-romance about a maimed girl, her wounded horse, her horrible New York fast-track mother, and the mystical horseman who helps everybody heal and attain higher consciousness. By deciding to direct and star in the film from the book, Redford helped make it the most successful unpublished novel in history: it earned $8.15 million while still being written. He did not stint in hiring a writer to do this movie tie-in book. Ehrlich, who spent 17 years working on sheep and cattle ranches, poured into this assignment some of the authentic western flavor of her nonfiction books The Solace of Open Spaces and A Match to the Heart: One Woman's Story of Being Struck by Lightning. Here, Ehrlich puts Redford's horseman character in his proper context. All this and 141 color photographs, too! --Tim Appelo
