Shawn Jayroe’s passion for horses and desire to help the underdog was instilled during her charmed childhood. Later, when the shy yet determined self-made businesswoman witnessed mistreatment of the beautiful majestic equines, a deep need to protect those without a voice begged her to action. Shawn rallied troops from the community to bring her vision to life, and with dedicated volunteers and financial donations, a miraculous life-saving refuge was gradually pieced together, forming RVR Horse Rescue. But one result Shawn hadn’t anticipated was the magical effect the horrifically abused animals would imprint on their caregivers, blurring the lines of who was saving whom. Author Shirley Alarie delivers the riveting saga of Shawn Jayroe and her army of Horse Angels who are tackling the unspoken issue of equine neglect and abuse one desperate animal at a time. A Healing Haven is an inspiring true story and a beautiful reminder that it is in giving that we receive life’s greatest blessings.

Review Unbelievably emotionally inspiring! I couldn't put it down until I had finished. As a mental health professional it spoke to all that I believe about the strength of connections between humans and animals. The book is so well written and enjoyable to read. Thank you to all who shared their personal stories in order to help others. Most importantly, thank you all, especially you Shawn, for your passion and perseverance in saving these beautiful animals. You are an inspiration to the "the change we wish to see in the world" (Ghandi) Taken from GreatNonprofits.org, RVR Horse Rescue
From the Author This project was a profoundly emotional experience for me. When I began to explore possibilities for my next book, I was drawn to an "animal" theme. I pursued an opportunity to write about a small therapeutic horse ranch and was disappointed when the project fell through. However, a couple of months later, my husband was reading about my recently published breast cancer guide, The Road Paved in Pink, in a local newspaper insert. When he turned the page, he discovered another article featuring a heartwarming story about a horse rescue ranch."Where's that?" I asked him. Neither of us had a clue. In the year since we'd moved into the neighborhood, we'd never heard of RVR Horse Rescue, but it was within five miles of our home. The following week, this urban-girl showed up on the ranch to muck stalls and fill water buckets, all in the presence of majestic and beautiful thousand pound creatures - completely foreign and frightening to me. But it was the type of opportunity I had dreamt of since my childhood.RVR Horse Rescue is a non-profit organization run by an army of volunteers. Their mission is to intervene, rescue, rehabilitate, and provide sanctuary for neglected, abused, abandoned, and traumatized horses. I quickly realized was a legitimate and amazing haven of healing and approached Shawn Jayroe, the founder and owner, about her interest in writing her story. To my delight, she accepted immediately. Like so many others, Shawn had always intended to write her story, but hectic daily demands kept taking precedence.I can say with complete honesty that this project changed my life. I knew as soon as I walked through the gates of the ranch that it was a special place. The hectic world of lofty materialistic goals, financial responsibilities, unrealistic deadlines, social media drama, and stories of violence invading our nation's schools and neighborhoods dropped away as if I'd teleported to another planet. The serene and quiet beauty drew me into its enchanting spell.This was the type of place and opportunity I had dreamed of during my harried days of life in the corporate manufacturing world, making plastic panels for various applications, such as windows. Big company politics, deadlines, back-stabbing, and turf guarding had sucked the life out of me, and I believe contributed in some way to my breast cancer diagnosis. Even though we joked that "It's only plastic", it was a dog-eat-dog world on a treadmill that kept gaining speed. I could never see a life beyond plastic. That is, until I walked through the gates of RVR. It suddenly brought the meaning and purpose I had been missing.Beyond the peaceful environment itself and the beautiful animals, I fell in love with the people. RVR Horse Angels, a fitting description of the volunteers who work tirelessly to save the abused and neglected animals. People who volunteer around the clock to sit with a dying horse. People who do whatever it takes to do the right thing. People who work hard for a worthy cause, then kick back together in fellowship. It is like a huge family, including the normal drama and special characters, but still a family.I could never have anticipated how my life would change when my husband handed me the newspaper and said, "Look at this article about a horse rescue ranch."A Healing Haven is a beautiful addition to my Lemons to Lemonade series.
About the Author Shirley spent the first twenty years of her career in an industrial manufacturing environment, running around the hamster wheel as fast as her legs would carry her. A breast cancer diagnosis jammed on the brakes and forced her to put life in perspective. Shirley’s journey since cancer has been focused on making a positive difference in the world, and she chose writing as her instrument to leave her mark. She was pleased and humbled that readers felt inspired by her memoir, Losing the Girls - My Journey Through Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Beyond. Reader feedback led to a “Lemons to Lemonade” concept that had great appeal to the budding author. She had been trying to find a purpose for her writing - a platform that felt meaningful and could make a difference in people’s lives. The Lemons to Lemonade notion morphed into a plan to write a series of uplifting ‘troubles to triumph’ novels, called The Lemons to Lemonade series. She envisioned the stories serving inspiration to a world so filled with negativity. Losing the Girls was the first installment and then she went in search of another amazing story to tell. Shirley’s basic beliefs are that knowledge is power and that through awareness, change is more likely. By increasing awareness of social issues that plague our communities and our world, then change becomes possible. Her objective is to serve meaningful stories in an engaging way, creating a positive reading experience and leaving the reader wanting more. A Healing Haven – Saving Horses and Humans at RVR Horse Rescue is the second installment of the series and was a life-changing project. Her favorite feedback to date of A Healing Haven is, “It was worth every tear.” This simple statement defines exactly what she’s trying to accomplish. The Road Paved in Pink – A Personal and Practical Guide for Breast Cancer Patients and their Loved Ones was a brief departure from her series to “pay forward” the goodness she received during her breast cancer crisis. Shirley has turned her efforts back to Lemons to Lemonade inspirational nonfiction and is currently underway on the third installment of the series.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. RVR - miracles really do happen. It all started with the idea of one person - Bless you Shawn!! By gadgets I have been fortunate enough to not only read this amazing book but have been able to volunteer at RVR and saw for myself the incredible miracles that are performed daily in saving the lives of these magnificent animals. I have seen horses brought in that any other rescue ranch would refuse to take - instead they would throw their hands up and not even try to save a life. Not Shawn and not all of her amazing volunteers. The before and after pictures of Romeo on the cover are just the beginning-there are so many others. This book will make you look at animal rescue organizations in a away that most people never take the time to do. Then please take that knowledge, and don't ever stop trying to help these magnificent creatures in anyway possible.

It takes you beyond the gates and the pretty horses playing and grazing in the pastures into the real world of rescue. Most people are unaware that there is so much cruelty toward these majestic animals. Those who love them can't imagine what fate awaits them in the wrong hands. I know many of the horses I read about and cried as I was reminded of what they had been through. They are different animals once they have been rehabbed and their personalities flourish, so it's easy to forget the torment they've known. Thanks to RVR and the caring volunteers who have love for each and every one of them.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Touched me so deeply! By islandlady I have read blogs from different horse rescues and sanctuaries, but I grew up in Tampa and know someone that volunteeers there, so this really caught my heart. I had horses as a teenager, but my parents sold my mare and her colt after I was in a bad car accident. I know the mare went to a good home, so I was happy for her, even though they would not let me close to her. I worried about the colt, especially many years later when I learned how many were treated, and worse. I think it is so incredible what these people do and I would give anything to be a part of it, if I were not so far away.
