Spirit of the Saluda River by Diana Tuorto is a touching, true-inspired story of Spirit, a blind Shetland pony rescued from South Carolina’s Saluda River. Despite his age and disability, Spirit becomes a beacon of hope and inspiration—especially to children who are deaf or blind. His journey of rehabilitation through the Palmetto Equine Awareness & Rescue League (P.E.A.R.L.) highlights themes of compassion, resilience, and the healing power of animal-human bonds. A portion of the book’s proceeds supports P.E.A.R.L.
