The book cover was also the September 2021 AllAuthor 'Cover of the Month' Book Contest Winner. The memoir also won four different 'Best of New Books' categories by All Author in the categories of 'Best New Cancer Book', 'Best New Horse Book', 'Best New Healing Book' & 'Best New Cancer Book of All Time' in 2022.

She is also the author of the bestselling children's picture book, 'Comanche the Wild Mustang' and 'Comanche the Wild Mustang Coloring Book', which shares the tale of her beloved wild horse. He was born in the wilderness in Nevada, was an equine therapy horse at a horse retreat center and then traveled across the ocean to the tropical jungle paradise of Kaua’i, Hawaii! This book is about mustang advocacy to spread awareness of the dire reality of wild horses in North America. It is a collaboration with the artist Nica Quinn (formally Nica Ware).

Nica and Tara's latest book is 'Kaimana the Hawaiian Mermaid' children's picture book, which is a ocean conservation book set in Kaua'i, Hawaii about a courageous Hawaiian mermaid, sperm whale, a vibrant ocean community of marine animals and merpeople who bring about positive change for the Earth & future generations.

'Grace, Grit & Gratitude' is about overcoming adversity, a deep dive into the challenges that come from loss, her own harrowing health journey and how her horses have played a significant role in her miraculous healing with cancer.

Tara recently contributed to 'The Power to Rise Above' an anthology of 30 women writers around the globe sharing their stories of rising above adversity.

Tara Coyote is the owner of a horse retreat center, Wind Horse Sanctuary in Kaua’i, Hawaii, which was formally located in Northern CA. She studied with Linda Kohanov at Eponaquest and is a certified Equine Facilitated Learning teacher. She also studied with Lisa Murrell & Schelli Whitehouse at Equine Alchemy to become a equine-guided life coach. Over the years, she has guided hundreds of people with private sessions, group workshops and ‘Grief Rituals with Horses’.

Tara has also been journeying with late stage breast cancer for over seven years. She currently treats it using complimentary methods: a blend of conventional and non-toxic medicine. She has been publicly sharing her health journey through her Cancer Warrioress blog page, YouTube channel and social media. She is very grateful to be alive after being recommended to hospice in the spring of 2019. She is currently thriving on her island home living off the grid in a yurt with her animals.

She happily lives in Kaua’i with her two horses: Comanche, the mustang, Blue the paint horse, Xaria, the Australian Shepherd and Rey, the cat. She believes it is always possible to find beauty within the greatest tragedy and that every challenge is present to serve us for our highest growth! When not swimming in a mermaid tail in the gorgeous ocean surrounding the Garden Island, playing her fiddle or writing, you can find her happily scooping horse manure!
