Not yet published
Expected 17 Dec 25Maybe you can't save them all, but each day is a new opportunity to save one...
Do you ever wonder what a homeless pet and a war refugee have in common —they both wish to belong somewhere. They try so hard to prove their worth. They want someone to hear their plea for help. But they are often left to fend for themselves. Sometimes they find each other in an empty street, and together they continue on an abandoned path, trying to make it through another night.

Raw, Philosophical, and Impossible to Forget
Seven Days with Coco isn not an easy read, but it’s a powerful one. Snjezana Marinkovic writes with an openness that’s both brave and disarming, weaving her experiences as a war refugee with her deep compassion for stray animals. The stories of the rescue dogs – and her memories of Sarajevo – are heartbreaking, yet they’re handled with a quiet, thoughtful tenderness.
The book blends creative nonfiction with poetry, letters to Coco the stray cat, and philosophical reflections on trauma, hope, and the search for meaning. It’s unconventional, but that’s part of its strength: it feels like sitting beside someone who has survived the unimaginable and is slowly, patiently stitching their world back together through kindness.
It won’t be comfortable for every reader, but it will stay with you. A poignant, deeply human work.
