About the author

Robert T. Moshell (Bob) was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia. After graduating the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine he returned to his hometown and opened his own small animal veterinary clinic. He and Edith now live in rural Hamilton, Georgia. Here, at their cabin in the woods, they enjoy a menagerie of rescue dogs, adopted cats and a parrot. The surrounding woods offer the company of visitors including deer, raccoons, opossums, turtles, hawks, owls and, perhaps most importantly, the simple peace of God's presence everywhere.

Doctoring animals is benefited by an imaginative mind. Not only does it help to employ your fingers and hands as extensions of your mind while palpating, but it is also helpful if you can intuit the feelings, responses and true temperament of your patient. Successful surgeries can fail to repair a patient that works against the doctor's efforts.

This listening to things unspoken is also how books and other creative endeavors come about for this author. Now retired, there is more time to acknowledge whispers in the wee hours. Environmental influences and thoughts from who-knows-where often become the birth of a novel or poem. The same is true of the original works in stained glass that the author creates; a subject pesters him until it is worked out in glass. Creativity demands life its own and though not a birth involving anatomy, he has tried to assist, when possible, for the poems, the novels and the stained-glass pieces to find life.

The book is very descriptive, makes you feel as if you are there, flows wonderfully, and examines the different relationships between the characters. It will have you going through a variety of emotions - happy, sad, angry, and shocking just to name a few. You will be angry at Charlotte and her family in one chapter, but then in the next chapter, other characters restore your faith in humanity. The book took a twist that I didn't see coming and leaves you wanting to know more. I would love to read future books about what happens to Dr. Pat next.

Fascinating and unputdownable!!!

I loved the development of all the characters. The absolute humanity portrayed in all of them, including the good,the bad and the ugly was absolutely mesmerizing... My husband missed a few meals so I could finish this book but so worth it!!!!
