A deeply emotional collection of poems that highlights the filly
behind the legend of The Licorice Daughter, Ruffian. With tender
care, Lifshin takes her readers through the too-short life of a
racing wonder. Beginning before Ruffian’s birth, this collection
outlines the anticipation of Ruffian’s greatness. With a grand
focus on the days before her fame, from the quiet beauty of the
April night of her birth to the brutal separation of the foals from
their mares six months after, Lifshin highlights the potential that
could be seen in Ruffian’s early days. From the relationships the
filly formed with her trainer—Frank Whitely, to her grooms,
jockeys, owners, and her devoted fans, this collection brings to
life the early days of a racing legend. With excruciating care the
last moments of Ruffian’s short life are laid bare before the
reader, as the myth is born in the hours before her death.
