Publisher Description
An irresistible novel about women, men, and the dogs that own them. Thirty-nine year old Rachel is having a really bad year. After losing her job and breaking up with her boyfriend, Rachel has inherited her late aunt’s house, her beloved border collie, and a crowded rescue kennel, despite the fact that she knows almost nothing about dogs. Still, considering her limited options, she gamely takes up the challenge of running the kennel. And as Rachel starts finding new homes for the abandoned strays, it turns out that it might not just be the dogs that need rescuing.

"I loved Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts. The story centres on three characters and their problems though Rachel is the main focus. Rachel, recovering from a complicated broken relationship, inherits a house and a dog rescue centre from an aunt, along with a few of her aunt's secrets; it isn't what she's used to or what she wants. Zoe battles life as a single mum with an unhelpful ex, two children and a demanding puppy, and Natalie and Johnny's lives run anything but smoothly while trying for a baby and fostering Bertie the Basset. The book is rather long at just over 400 pages but there are some laugh out loud moments along with the tear-jerking ones."
