Walking Back to Happiness

Average rating5
A delightful new novel from the author of Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts. Juliet's hiding from her feelings about the recent loss of Ben, the love of her life. If it weren't for having to walk Ben's loyal dog, Minton, she'd never leave their half-finished house. Then her mother asks her to take her elderly lab, Coco, along. One dog leads to another, and soon Juliet's the unofficial town pet-sitter. And when she takes on a lonely spaniel, and gets to know its attractive owner, she realizes that her emotions aren't as easy to handle as her canine charges...

The sweet if somewhat somber story of a young widow gradually coming back to life with the help of her meddling family and a fledgling dog-walking business. Secondary plot involves the heroine's sister, a new mom who is struggling to find herself and recapture the magic of her marriage. Worth the price of the book just for the widow's kooky next door neighbors, a not-quite domesticated rock-n-roll family who deserve their own novel. Not quite as dog-centric as the author's previous novel, Lost Dogs & Lonely Hearts, but still quite a few entertaining pet moments.
