Last week, poet and author Jana Harris watched the snow falling on her farm in eastern Snohomish County and fretted about roof-crushing volumes of Cascade concrete. Keeping her company was True Colors, her friend of 25 years and the subject of Harris' new book "Horses Never Lie about Love: The Heartwarming Story of a Remarkable Horse Who Changed the World Around Her" (Free Press, 279 pp. $24).
Harris, who has won both a Washington State Governor's Writers Award (now the Washington State Book Award) and a Pushcart Prize, both writes and teaches poetry. In her new book she tries out the memoir, addressing a subject close to her heart — her life raising horses and her relationship with True Colors, a Thoroughbred brood mare with an extraordinarily stabilizing influence on both people and horses.
