By Dan Walsh
Amy Wallace has made plenty of mistakes in her young life, but she didn’t see this one coming. Chris Seger is a marine serving in Afghanistan. His life is forever altered by a single, fateful step. A mother of another Afghan war vet suffers a devastating loss, which changes the course of Finley’s life for good.
Finley is a mostly golden retriever, who suddenly finds himself alone and confused in a dog shelter. Later, he’s brought to a local prison to be trained in a special program for female inmates. Could this prison actually become the place where Finley finally finds freedom? Rescuing Finley tells the story of how one rescue dog powerfully impacts three tragic lives and puts all of them on a road toward redemption and healing.
Dan Walsh is known for page-turning, character driven novels. Fans of Dan’s other novels, as well as dog-lovers everywhere will especially enjoy Rescuing Finley.
ISLAND BREEZES
Finley definitely needs rescuing. So do several people. Who’s going to rescue whom? Finley is a dog who doesn’t understand why people continue to abandon him.
Amy feels abandoned, too, but she knows she’s the cause of that. She alienated all her friends and family. Now swhe’s alone in the midst of people who mostly scare her.
Is it possible that Finley and Amy can rescue each other? What about the man who is going to take Finley away from her?
This book may bring tear or two to your eyes before you finish reading it. I used more than one tissue while reading it.
I never met a Dan Walsh book that I didn’t love. This is no exception. I only wish I could meet Finley in person.
