Half Broke: A MemoirAt the start of this remarkable story of recovery, healing, and redemption, Ginger Gaffney answers a call to help retrain the troubled horses at an alternative prison ranch in New Mexico, a facility run entirely by the prisoners.

The horses and residents arrive at the ranch broken in one way

At the start of this remarkable story of recovery, healing, and redemption, Ginger Gaffney answers a call to help retrain the troubled horses at an alternative prison ranch in New Mexico, a facility run entirely by the prisoners. The horses are scavenging through the dumpsters, kicking and running down the residents when they bring the trash out after meals. One horse is severely injured.

The horses and residents arrive at the ranch broken in one way or many: the horses are defensive and terrified, while the residents, some battling drug and alcohol addictions, are emotionally and physically shattered. With deep insight into how animals and humans communicate through posture, body language, and honesty of spirit, Gaffney walks us through her struggle to train the untrainable.

Gaffney peels away the layers of her own story--a solitary childhood, painful introversion, and a transformative connection with her first horse, a filly named Belle--and she, too, learns to trust people as much as she trusts horses. As her year-long odyssey builds toward a dramatic conclusion, the group experiences triumphs and failures, brave recoveries and relapses, as well as betrayals and moving stories of trust and belonging.

Resonant, smart, and beautifully written, Half Broke tears at the heart of what it takes to find wholeness after years of trauma and addiction and offers profound insight on how working with animals can satisfy our universal need for connection.

THIS IS IT. This needs to be a permanent beauty staple item in your toolkit! I use Dennis Gross acid wipes for my face, it has erased my melasma with maintenance of course but this stuff is THE item for your body and crepey skin. Dennis Gross wipes are too expensive and small to use over your whole body. Amlactin is amazing but it does have that signature lactic acid smell and sometimes I don’t want lotion on me. I had never heard of Prequel before this. It was cheap enough and had all the acids I was looking for. I’ve only been using it for one week and it definitely has all the lactic acid magic in it! The wrinkle bend creases on my wrists are gone. My sun damage freckles and spots are fading. It’s so fast and easy to use. It dries fast. I put it on my arms and legs every single night while watching my bedtime TV routine. I’m here to buy a second bottle. I’m not a bot! Ladies we need this. I’ll update some photos later on. I’m sad I didn’t take a before photo. Also, remember any lactic acid products you MUST wear sunscreen after/during treatment. It makes you more prone to burn. I haven’t used this on my chest area sun damage but I have used PTR acid products there and it works phenomenally. Sometimes it pills so I may switch to this for my chest.

Great results when used carefully
This is a strong exfoliating peel, and it definitely works. The milk texture spreads easily and feels controlled, but you can tell right away that this is not a beginner exfoliant. At 15% glycolic acid, it delivers noticeable smoothing and brightness when used carefully. I started slowly and kept my routine very simple afterward, focusing on hydration and barrier support. Used this way, it helped refine texture and made my skin look clearer and more even. When I increased usage too quickly, I noticed dryness, which was a good reminder that this peel needs to be respected. I would recommend this to experienced skincare users who are comfortable with chemical exfoliation and understand the importance of spacing treatments and supporting the skin barrier. It’s effective, but not something to rush or overuse. I used less than the recommended amount and it was still a little spicy for me.

Restored my glow and smoothness in ONE use!
Restored my glow and smoothness in ONE use! I am 47, and I’ve really started to notice my skin losing its natural glow and becoming a bit dull. I decided to try the Prequel Multi-Acid Milk, and I am honestly obsessed. The results were immediate—literally after one use, my skin felt incredibly soft and hydrated. I’ve been using it twice a week, and the difference is night and day. My skin looks much younger, smoother, and that healthy radiance is finally back. If you struggle with any kind of roughness or uneven texture, this is the solution. It completely clears it up. It’s rare to find a product that delivers such fast results without being harsh. If you're on the fence, definitely give it a try!

Excellent product
It’s amazing. Not too harsh but does the trick. I love this product. My face flushes a little but is normal by in the morning. My skin glows like it never did before. It took about a week for me to see an obvious difference in my complexion. I am sold on continuing to use this daily. It’s not as expensive as a face peel or microdermabrasion.
