The Horse With A Blue Eye

“A beautifully sweeping story, THE HORSE WITH A BLUE EYE explores the devastating consequences of generational trauma, shame, and regret. Told in alternating perspectives, this deeply emotional novel reveals the cracks in both a broken family and the elusive world of stained-glass restoration. Chapter by chapter, Julie Maloney builds the intensity, shattering a fragile lattice of secrets. You will hold your breath through every page, only exhaling when you reach the last spellbinding word.”

–Samantha M. Bailey, USA TODAY and #1 international bestselling author of Hello, Juliet 

“THE HORSE WITH A BLUE EYE is the craft of storytelling at its finest. At the heart of its mystery lies the complex relationship between mother and daughter — tender, fractured, flawed and achingly real.  The result is a novel that is as emotionally compelling as it is suspenseful. Julie Maloney doesn’t simply tell a story; she invites you to live inside it for a while, and you’ll be grateful you accepted the invitation.”

–Janice Molinari, Emmy award-winner and producer/director of the documentary, Stronger Than You Think

“Julie Maloney has written an utterly exquisite story about a mother and daughter, long at odds, and the triumphant healing power of art. Get ready to have your heart touched. As an animal lover, I especially enjoyed the inclusion of the horse and the divine connection between animals and humans. I highly recommend this gem.”

–Bren McClain, award-winning author of One Good Mama Bone
