The Road to HomeBy Ruth A. DouthittDescription:Thirteen year old Molly moves with her family to a small town after the death of her mother. There she meets an abandoned dog who grieves the loss of his family, too. Together, they help each other cope. But Molly resents her father's decision to remarry. Being forced to leave behind the life she once knew and accept a new family proves to be too much change for her broken heart to handle. Can she learn to trust again? Or will she always yearn for the road to home? Book Takeaway:I hope readers take away healthy coping strategies for grief and loss. I also hope that readers see how dogs (pets) can help us get through difficult times. Why the author wrote this book:To encourage those in grief and struggling with loss that there is hope, healing, and recovery if they learn to cope in healthy ways. |
