Into Our Lives

I just received my first 5-Star Review on Amazon for my eBook "Into Our Lives." I couldn't be happier.

"This story is an autobiography about the author & her special bond with the dogs she has owned. Throughout the personal triumphs & tragedies of this couple, the value of this bond cannot be understated. This is a feeling any pet owner can agree with." H. Connault for Amazon.
