Product Description

A poignant and unforgettable tale of love, loss, and moving on . . . with the help of one not-so-little dog

Rocky's husband Bob was just forty-two when she discovered him lying cold and lifeless on the bathroom floor . . . and Rocky's world changed forever. Quitting her job, chopping off all her hair, she leaves Massachusetts—reinventing her past and taking a job as Animal Control Warden on Peak's Island, a tiny speck off the coast of Maine and a million miles away from everything she's lost. She leaves her career as a psychologist behind, only to find friendship with a woman whose brain misfires in the most wonderful way and a young girl who is trying to disappear. Rocky, a quirky and fallible character, discovers the healing process to be agonizingly slow.

But then she meets Lloyd.

A large black Labrador retriever, Lloyd enters Rocky's world with a primitive arrow sticking out of his shoulder. And so begins a remarkable friendship between a wounded woman and a wounded, lovable beast. 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.

4 out of 5 stars great read!   September 20, 2008
this is a very good book... even though it is fiction, so its not "true", it knida hits you right in the heart, in the way that matters. i'd recommend this to anyone who likes stories about love and animal bonds.


3 out of 5 stars Lost & Found   September 15, 2008
This story seemed to me to be more about the woman than the dog. It was still a short story that kept my interest.


5 out of 5 stars Magnificent story of loss and growth   September 12, 2008
A beautiful book. Other reviewers have summarized the plot. There's a magnificent description of grief as Rocky deals with the shocking loss of her husband. I loved the way Rocky relates to the people in her new world, especially the teenager. And I loved the way the plot unfolded, with the author moving easily across viewpoints. She even got inside the head of the dog without degenerating into mawkish anthropomorphic sentiment.

This novel fits a sub-genre of women-oriented books: the woman who's reinventing herself and starting over. It follows plot conventions of the "smart woman in small town" genre. Having lived in a small town myself, I am amazed at how easily these single women find soulmates and romantic relationships so quickly and easily. But here it's plausible.

I didn't want this book to end. It feels like the first in a series and I hope that turns out to be the case.

Animals have a way of finding that void in your heart. They can teach you to love for the very first time, or to trust your heart and love again. This story does just that. It draws you in from the very first page and never lets you down. Great read.

I just loved this book! Once I started reading it, I couldn't put this book down until I finished it. My favorite character was Lloyd, of course, but everyone in it was likeable and memorable. I could wholly relate to Rocky and thought Sheehan did a marvelous job making you care about her. Don't be afraid to buy this one. It's a good entertaining read!
