- Synopsis
- In this &“hauntingly beautiful story about love, family, and relationships,&” a mysterious dog helps an elderly man in his final days (Archbishop Desmond Tutu). After Sam Peek&’s beloved wife Cora dies, his children are worried about him. After fifty-seven years of marriage, they are unsure how their elderly father will survive on his own. They talk about him as if he can&’t hear them, questioning how he&’ll run a farm, drive his truck, or live by himself. When Sam tells his children about a white dog who visits him, yet seems invisible to everyone else, they are sure that grief and old age have taken a toll on their father. But, real or not, the creature soothes Sam&’s grief and ultimately reconciles him with his own mortality. In this bittersweet story of love, grief, and coming to terms with death, &“master storyteller&” Terry Kay takes readers on Sam&’s journey with his white dog, bringing solace and comfort to the inevitable transition that all must make (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
