Review Quotes

A lovely story about the messiness of families and learning to trust and believe in yourself. Most of all, it's a story about friendship - both the two- and four-legged kind.

I can't think of a category of reader who won't love this book. Sylvia McNicoll has done it again.

Sylvia McNicoll has once again crafted a story filled with heart. An entertaining story about finding friends - human and furry - who see the real you.
