Writer Lisa Jones went to Wyoming for a four-day magazine
assignment. She was committed to a long-term relationship, building
a career, and searching for something she could not name.
At a dusty corral on the Wind River Indian Reservation, she met
Stanford Addison, a Northern Arapaho who seemed to transform
everything around him. He gentled horses rather than breaking them.
It was said he could heal people of everything from cancer to
bipolar disorder. He did all this from a wheelchair; he had been a
quadriplegic for more than twenty years.
Intrigued, Lisa sat at Stanford's kitchen table and watched. And
she listened to his story. Stanford spent his teenage years busting
broncos, seducing girls, and dealing drugs. At twenty, he left the
house for another night of partying. By morning, a violent accident
had robbed him of his physical prowess and left in its place
unwelcome spiritual powers--an exchange so shocking that Stanford
spent several years trying to kill himself. Eventually he
surrendered to his new life and mysterious gifts. Over the years
Lisa was a frequent visitor to Stanford's place, the reservation
and its people worked on her, exposing and healing the places where
she, too, was broken. This is her story, intertwined with
Stanford's, and it explores powerful spirits, material poverty,
spiritual wealth, friendship, violence, confusion, death, and above
all else, love.
