Brandi Carlile's book, Broken Horses, was initially debated with Glennon over the title, as Glennon felt it implied a taming of a horse rather than the vulnerability intended. It was eventually published with this title, which was inspired by Brandi's daughter.
And my genius idea for you was that you should not name the book Broken Horses.
I told you that was not a good title.
I thought that Broken Horses meant a tamed horse.
But the amazing thing, the more I think about it over and over again, your title and what you are saying about that is that, I mean, you said, I mean, broken in some obvious way, an apparent flaw that would suggest that the animal can no longer serve his man-made human serving purpose work.
