This book may be small, but it is huge in feeling, necessary information, and touching stories filled with understanding, hope, friendship, and compassion. If you or anyone you know and love is suffering through the recent loss of a loved one, or is still struggling with lingering heartache due to a death however long ago, this book truly helps the one left behind to move forward in a loving and healing way - to honor their loved one as well as to honor their own life. This is not your normal book about grief and death. None of us are ever told much about dealing with the death of a loved one, and yet it happens to all of us sooner or later. So, how do we heal? Where do we start? How do we begin to live again? What do we say to our children? Our friends' children? Our grandchildren? How can we best help a friend or family member in a time of such tremendous loss? What do we say? What can we do? We're left in a free-fall over these questions all of our lives. This book changes all of that. It's the book your heart has been waiting to hear. It really is.

1961 --- when the world was a nicer place....or so it seemed. The plot follows the lives of five girls - Dee Ann, Mary Ellen, Myra, Kate, and Julie through the last few weeks of their final year in grade school as the realization that their new teenage lives are about to take them their separate ways. Friendship, difficult family issues, heartbreaking confessions, boys, separation, young love...any of the rites of passage a soon-to-be teenager faces can be found here. These are five v-e-r-y different girls, yet the ties of friendship and love always seal the gaps. The question that remains is: Why can't love and friendship seal these same gaps when we grow up? ...And just what do we really lose when we lose our childhood?

After a very rough beginning in life as a puppy mill dog, Henley was rescued and then adopted into a loving home. His life was a full one, and a happy one. Henley became a Therapy Dog, a Reading Buddy, a Humane Education Ambassador, and the author of his very own book, "My Name is Henley: My life and times as a rescued dog." Thousands upon thousands of children embraced his story and his mission to find happily-ever-afters for all our animal friends. "Living a life that values life," and being "the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves," were the words upon which his mission was founded. Sadly, Henley's own life came to an end on March 13th, 2010, just three days after his twelfth birthday - but his story continues. In true "Henley" tradition, this dear old dog comforts us once again - now from another place - to help those who have suffered the loss of a pet, and to give them a sense of closure. Yes, the tears and sadness are normal, feeling the loss is normal, and so is moving forward - to honor that much-loved friend and pet. May this gentle sheepdog's words bring you comfort, smiles, understanding, and a reason to celebrate rich memories that live on and on. Even in the darkest of situations you can find the light...if you look in the right places. And this book is one of those places.
