BROKEN: A Love Story is author Lisa Jones' true tale of her friendship with quadriplegic Northern Arapaho horse gentler and traditional healer Stanford Addison. Originally sent to Stanford's home on Wyoming's Wind River Indian Reservation to write a magazine article, Lisa ends up spending about a year in the company of this remarkable man. Footage for this video was provided by Angelique Midthunder, who directed an award-winning PBS documentary on Stanford called Silent Thunder. BROKEN: A Love Story is available wherever books are sold. Find out more at www.brokenalovestory.com
This book changed my life. The story literally called out to me and it still lives in my heart nearly 3 years after reading it. I had hoped to meet Stanford and I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. Yet in a way I am happy for him, that he is free of his pain and one again with The Great Spirit. Since horse slaughter recently became legal in the U.S., I am inspired to advocate for the beautiful creatures that Stanford loved so much. Together we can save the horses & each other.

I am very grateful to have been able to have Stanford Addison in my life as my uncle and my father figure. My mom is Stanfords sister. I loved all his stories. What I miss is going to visit and we would all sit around the kitchen table or in his room and all gather around him on his bed and listen to ghost stories. Home feels lonely without him and my grandma Stella.=(

Hi Lisa, thank you, thank you for writing this book. I just finished it and not only did I appreciate the painstaking care you took in revealing the incredible journey your soul went through, but to show, through Stan, the incredible capabilities that humans do have in healing others. I would love to know more about the things he did to accomplish it and wonder what, short of being as close to the creator as he was, we can do to become closer to being like that. Thanks again!
