POPPY
Animal Fiction
BY JAMIE GLASER
BLURB
In animal rescue who saves who?
Patricia Rueben is a vibrant and eccentric woman trapped in an unhappy marriage. But one evening her life is turned around when she encounters a stray dog in a busy parking lot.
Melody Malley is a middle-aged librarian grappling with the recent loss of her father and her strained relationship with her mother. When news of her mother’s cognitive decline shifts their relationship, Melody finds herself teetering between empathy and unforgiveness.
The two women’s worlds are entwined, brought together by a very special dog, who helps them find the courage to once again embrace their true selves.
Poppy is a story of a lonely stray who brings healing and hope to the lives of one wayward woman and one broken family, all the while bringing awareness to a misunderstood breed and their rich capacity to love unconditionally.
All proceeds from the sales of Poppy go to St. Louis County SAVE.

Now there was nothing– no family no dog nothing she looked at her hands they were old and wrinkled surely not her own. What was happening? Where was she?
