I scanned the cover, and a stock is inlcuded.

It was No.10 on the NY Times bestselling list for 1995, and made into a popular movie, directed and starring the ever-incredible Robert Redford, with Kristin Scott Thomas, and Scarlett Johansson (14 years old).
As good as the movie was, the book is (as usual) much better.

Includes Nicholas Evans talking about the writing of the novel (last 6 tracks).

Cheers, FerraBit

From the back of the Recorded Books CD case:

In this astonishing best-selling novel, Nicholas Evans beautifully blends adventure, romance, and self-discovery into a story that will rekindle your faith in the healing powers of love.

A truck skids on a snowy country road just as a girl on horseback rides into its path. In seconds, a family's peaceful life is shattered and a mother's quest begins--to save her wounded daughter and a horse driven mad with pain. For Annie Graves, it is a heartwrenching journey that leads to the Horse Whisperer. 

He is the stuff of legends--a man with the ancient, mystical power to tame wild horses and heal broken spirits. Now Tom Booker, the gentle Montana rancher who has inherited this gift, is about to meet his greatest challenge. Under the massive sky of the Rocky Mountains, he must make a miracle come true for Annie, her daughter, and the savage horse that touches both their lives.

A magnificent tale of healing and redemption, lost dreams and new hopes, The Horse Whisperer is an unforgettable novel that marks the debut of a stunning new voice in contemporary fiction.

The main character, according to writer Nicholas Evans' website, is modeled after horse whisperer Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt and, in particular, their younger disciple Buck Brannaman. Brannaman also doubled for Robert Redford in the film and served as the consultant. Evans himself said, "Others have claimed to be the inspiration for Tom Booker in The Horse Whisperer. The one who truly inspired me was Buck Brannaman. His skill, understanding and his gentle, loving heart have parted the clouds for countless troubled creatures. Buck is the Zen master of the horse world."
