Review Quotes:
"Vereckey's engaging voice and warm observations keep the pages turning...An honest portrait of someone trying to navigate through the unknown and figure out what home means when everything familiar has fallen away." -Kirkus Reviews, a recommended pick
"A delightfully uplifting, engrossing memoir that will captivate readers, particularly dog lovers but also those interested in emotive, intimate tales of self-discovery following major life changes. -The BookLife Prize
"A funny, raw, and quietly luminous memoir..." -Kelly McMasters, author of The Leaving Season, a Good Morning America May Books Pick
"Vereckey writes with a reporter's observational eye, an essayist's heart and a divorcée's skewering wit. Inspired by the love of a dog, this is a feel-good story with some bite." -Seven Days
"Vereckey is a raconteur at the top of her game. This is a memoir that vividly evokes the power of community: how we find it; how we nurture it; how it shapes us." -Ernest Scheyder, National Book Award longlisted author of The War Below
