Publisher Description

New York Times best-selling author Jon Katz has written a successful series of mystery novels, nonfiction works, and a popular fiction series based on his experiences with the dogs on his farm. In Rose in a Storm, Rose is a working dog devoted to keeping the sheep and other creatures at Bedlam Farm out of danger. But as the weather grows cold, Rose senses danger-a storm unlike any she's seen. When an epic blizzard finally strikes, Rose needs all her courage to help her master save the farm.

"Told from the viwpoint of a dog - very interesting - lots of descriptive words to give the visuals since a dog doesn't talk! Good read - although I thought the ending was a bit strange. "

    " Katz writes more non-fiction than fiction and it shows here in this novel in large part from the POV of the sheep dog Rose. It worked in "Call of the Wild," because the POV never changed. This may be a more accurate book, but it’s not better told. And avoid it in the winter! "

    " Rose in a Storm was a very good read, although I was left with a big huge unanswered question, and was extremely emotional for an avid animal lover as I am! "

    " This book is about a smart sheepdog, Rose, as told by Rose. I thought it was a good, sad, tear jerker. You'll never guess who turns out to be Rose's father. It all ends well. Love a good dog book. "
