Heart of Gold
by B.J. Daniels
"Facing down your past can be dangerous"
Posted July 15, 2020

"Great summer read about the impact of friends"
Posted June 24, 2020

Re: Heartache Falls (11:34am April 28, 2011):

Okay I'm hooked - definitely have three more books to add to my must read list. Dogs love us unconditionally - you can't really say that about anyone or anything else. My Maxwell will always have a special place in our hearts along with our Coco and Shani. Now we have a rescue grand doggie Annie who loves her little girl sooo much.
