After a series of veterinary visits, tests and lots of prayer, we found out that our foster (at the time) had been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Even though he wasn't ours, we did everything we could to make him well again...and thankfully, he started walking and eating.
Since then, we've added him to our family and also to the cover of two of my books. The first was Paw Prints in the Sand: Mission Accomplished and the second is my newest book, Hearts of Gold.
Hearts of Gold:
A child should feel the safety of their parent's touch, the warmth of their compassion and the benevolence of their soul. For Peyton Bishop, it was quite the opposite. A victim of domestic abuse, Peyton, along with her mother, Morgan lived under constant fear of her father.
When Morgan sustains an injury from one of the beatings, Peyton needs to spend the night at her grandparents. As a method of enforcing her silence, her father gets rid of her golden retriever, Teddy and makes her believe it is her fault, showing her once again who is boss.
Once Morgan recovers, she promises that she will bring Peyton to safety in hopes of living a normal life, but Peyton continues to suffer from the sting of her father's words, an overwhelming guilt about losing Teddy.
A fictional story, centered around hope, love and loyalty between a child and her dog, that depicts emotional scars left from child abuse.
Paw Prints in the Sand: Mission Accomplished
In the prequel, Paw Prints in the Sand, you read the heartwarming story about
Foxy, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever who was mistakenly sold to the
owners of a puppy mill and lives to tell about it. Her story is one
of encouragement and hope and enables us to realize how important it is to band
together and save the lives of other dogs living in the same type of cruel
environment. That is, if you can truly call it living.
After all, these poor dogs are merely existing in cramped cages without
proper food, exercise, medicine or love.
The inspirational sequel continues with a bit of a twist. A man suffering with what some might call a critical mid-life crisis (and then some) is contemplating life and trying desperately to find reasons to stay alive.
His wife left him, he hates his job and despises his less-than-appreciative boss. Life as he knows it is pointless. A chance situation gives him reason to smile and he finds himself conversing with a couple of men who are excited to begin a new venture building a modern dog shelter called, "Paw Prints in the Sand. "
Often, we hear about dogs that have been rescued by humans, but rarely do we acknowledge that the opposite is actually true. Discover how Harrison's life is drastically changed by opening his heart to these four-legged creatures. You'll find yourself in agreement that often it is our furry friends that rescue us just as much as we rescue them.
