Book Description
A family torn apart by tragedy learns to come together in this “dark, deep, and incredibly emotional” novel of secrets and forgiveness (Jo Lambert, author of The Cornish Affair). After struggling with the death of his childhood friend and the loss of his mother, Griff Hendry has dedicated himself to saving lives, joining the coastal rescue team along the breathtaking shores of Dorset, England. Yet the one man who needs rescue most—Griff’s own father, Logan—is the one man Griff can’t forgive. Their tragic past not only caused an irreparable rift between them, but also drove away Griff’s wife, Evie. As Evie struggles with the trials of her teenage daughter, she also gives as much care and comfort to her ailing and bereaved father-in-law as she can. Evie has no choice. She knows the terrible secret that Logan is hiding from his son. Now it’s up to her to bring the family back together, to teach Griff that the real meaning of strength is compassion, and that sometimes healing an old wound requires opening it first. “[James’s] Chesil Beach series . . . has been compared to that of leading novelists Jodi Picoult and Jojo Moyes.” —Dorset Echo

The Other End of the Leash

Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307489183
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
