Marianne Leone writes about the joy that can be summoned after a great loss, “when you look into the eyes of another damaged creature and know that your happiness is a mirror and an echo and a prayer and that the little soul reflecting all that energy is happy too, at last.” This memoir is a moving and sometimes surprisingly funny exploration of grief and the mutual healing that can occur between rescue dogs and people who have experienced a soul-crushing loss.
