Description

An unforgettable tale of love, loss, and moving on—with the help of one not-so-little dog…

After the death of her husband, Rocky flees to Peak’s Island, a tiny speck off the coast of Maine, a million miles away from everything she’s lost.  Taking a job as an Animal Warden, Rocky meets Lloyd, a large Labrador retriever, who enters her world with a primitive arrow sticking out of his shoulder.  And so begins a remarkable friendship between a wounded woman and an injured, lovable beast.  

Can the magic of Peak’s Island and its quirky residents heal Rocky’s pain? As the unraveling mystery of Lloyd's accident and missing owner leads Rocky to an archery instructor who draws her in even as she finds every reason to mistrust him, she discovers the life-altering revelation that grief can be transformed...and joy does exist in unexpected places.

    If you’re a dog lover you’ll love this book. At times difficult because of the grief heroine is going through but well worth the effort.

    This is the first book I’ve read by Sheehan. Loved it. I almost cried at the beginning but I needed to find out how she was going to move on. I’m starting the sequel right away!

    This book was one of my favorite books of all time. The middle was a little slow, but a heartbreaking story to read. I would recommend you buying this book.
  • For dog lovers, and those traveling through the Grief tunnel

    I loved this book for many reasons, but first because the dog’s perspective seemed real, plausible and something I have experienced. Rocky, the psychologist who lost her husband suddenly to a heart attach at a young husband, age 40, compounded her grief with the total disappointment in the sometimes lifesaving technique, CPR. I, too, have experienced that. The story line was riveting, and confounding until the end. So great plot, complex characters, and a bit of bizarre behavior made this book a quick and extremely satisfying read!
  • Good book!

    Well written , happy and sad, wrenching and funny. And, (spoiler alert), a happy ending!

    What an inspiring book! If you have a dog, read this book! If you don’t have a dog, read about Cooper and you will want a dog. I have a black Lab named Jack, and he is a beautiful and loving dog. Now I need to read the next book!
