Albie

by Sparrow Spaulding

Greer Livingston, an editor at a small publishing company, has one friend and an aloof cat named Gershwin. Greer used to be full of life, but that was decades ago, before her father died unexpectedly. He never made it to her seventh-birthday celebration, but she received the gift he had chosen for her—a stuffed rabbit named Albie who has been with her ever since.

When Greer comes home after being laid off, she has a little too much wine and falls asleep listening to one of her father’s old albums. When she wakes the next morning, there is a man making breakfast in her kitchen who insists he’s Albie, her stuffed rabbit come to life, there to breathe life back into her.

Come along on this magical adventure as Albie helps Greer through her grief and guides her in reconnecting with her lost inner child(ren). Whether they’re dancing the tango or confronting New York’s biggest crime boss, this dynamic duo will have you either laughing out loud or wiping a tear from your eye.

A must-read for anyone who’s loved and lost, Albie will heal your heart and reawaken the magic that lives inside us all.
