To help her son grow strong, a mother finds a rescue dog to be her
thirteen-year-old boy's companion. Set in a small New England town during the
post-war years of WWII, the dog is more than a story of a boy and his best
friend. It is a celebration of the love every dog brings into a family as he
transforms a house into a home. Like all dogs, Shadow is filled with miracles.
In the tradition of The Yearling, and Born Free, the dog
carries an epic punch. Funny, insightful, and heart-wrenching, the dog has
overwhelmed readers with the transformational beauty of its heartbreaking
conclusion.
