"Multiple hankies, dog lovers…this is an emotional read." –Library Journal
If there's been a theme in Justine Meade's life, it's loss. Her mother, her home, even her son. The one bright spot in her loss-filled life, the partner she could always count on, was Mack, her grey and black Sheltie – that is, until she is summoned back to her childhood home after more than twenty years away.
Ed and Alice Parmalee are mourning a loss of their own. Seven years after their daughter was taken from them, they're living separate lives together. Dancing around each other, and their unspeakable heartbreak, unable to bridge the chasm left between them. When they find a little black and gray dog by the side of the road, they take him in.
Fiercely loyal, acutely perceptive and guided by a herd dog's instinct, Mack has a way of bringing out the best in his humans. Whether it's as Justine's partner, or just the ebb and flow of a family's rhythms, it's as though the little Shetland Sheepdog was born to bring people together.
Everyone needs Mack. But to whom does the little dog who danced belong?

For those of you who don't like sad endings, this one shouldn't be a problem for you. Without spoiling it for you, I can say I felt the ending made sense and was actually what my mother and I had both said would be the best solution to a difficult problem.
The main characters in this book were well rounded and interesting, and even secondary characters who started out as stereotypes were mostly revealed as flawed people who had reasons for the things they did.
I enjoyed this book greatly and will look for other titles by this author.
Great Road Trip Entertainment

The story kept me on edge. I finished it in two days because I had to know what happened next.
I really liked the narration. The different voice for the dog's thoughts was great.
The only thing I didn't like, is the family dynamic. Why are all step mothers evil? (ok, I may be sensitive because I am a step mother). Also, I that I think she let the father and step brother off the hook too easily. But I guess the story would have had to evolve differently if the family had been different.
Overall, a very good book.
