The Meaning Of Home

by Scott I. Fegley

In a world desperate for hope, meet Charlie, a half-breed streetwise Pom who refuses to give up hope of finding a forever home despite long odds. In The Meaning of Home, Scott Fegley’s poignant debut novel, Charlie embodies the importance of second chances for dogs and humans alike. After domestic violence ends his first family, and nearly ends his life, Charlie finds himself in a homeless camp among a collection of destitute people, the mentally ill, addicts and homeless vets. Despite harsh conditions, Charlie touches their lives and gives them comfort, friendship, and always hope. On the streets, Charlie confronts fear, prejudice, illness and even death and just won’t quit believing tomorrow will be better. Heartwarming, humorous, and thought-provoking, "The Meaning Of Home" is more than a story of the special relationship between humans and dogs. It reminds us that a home is not defined by the structure, but the spirit within. An imaginative dog’s-eye view of the human-canine connection. . . Endearing; best for dog lovers who will have little difficulty suspending their disbelief. -Kirkus Reviews

[Valerie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish I could give this book a higher rating than five stars! At first I wasn’t sure about a book written from a dog’s point of view, because while I LOVE dogs, I find most books written this way to be silly. However, that is not the case with The Meaning of Home. It is heart felt, and the story is as much about human relationships as it is about the relationship between dogs and humans. Loved it!
