Publisher Description
Where can you turn when the world turns against you? When Elizabeth Barnes’ life fell apart she never imagined that she’d be rescued by a new friend on four paws.
The plan was simple: Elizabeth would ignore the fact that she was unjustly fired from her dream job, fly across the pond to settle an unexpected inheritance in her father’s home country and quickly return to reclaim her position among the Silicon Valley elite.
But when Elizabeth stumbles upon an abandoned puppy, she’s shocked to realize that her brief trip to England might turn into an extended stay. Her strict itinerary is upended completely by the pup’s dogged devotion, and soon the loveable puppy helps her to connect with a tight-knit community of new friends on two legs and four, from the aunt and uncle she didn't know existed, to a grumpy coffee shop owner to two very opinionated sheep. Along the way Elizabeth is confronted by long-kept family secrets, hard truths about her former life and a new romance that might lead her to question everything she knows about love. Because sometimes rescue magic happens on both ends of the leash.
Customer Reviews
Good book
An enjoyable time “spent” in the English countryside with some wonderfully quirky characters. I’d like to spend some time there myself!
Meet-cute with dog
Rather more low-key than I prefer, but lovely half-tier down characters. Don’t know why this felt like Ireland instead of western rural England, but it did. The inclusion of art, artists, and painting was a delight, as was Georgina the puppy.
I did start tearing up as goodbyes were being said.
What bugged me is the use of ‘San Fran’: absolutely no-one in the SF Bay Area calls it anything but San Francisco, or the City. One sees ‘SF’ only in writing, in abbreviations.
It’s clear the author isn’t from California. Whether she’s a Yinzer, I couldn’t say, because I’m not sure where in PA she is.
I loved the dogs, though.
Good Read
