Book Description
Who are these homeless teens wandering the streets of America, backpacks slung over their shoulders, cigarettes dangling from their hands? Why are they on the streets instead of safely harbored at home? A Fragile Thread of Hope answers these questions in the words of four young women rescued from the streets by the author, Andi Buerger. Her own childhood abuse made her keenly aware of three homeless teenaged mothers when she volunteered at a shelter on Thanksgiving of 2008. That day she decided to do something to help. A Fragile Thread of Hope is the story of Andi's redemption from the abuse that sought to define her intertwined with the eventual birth of Beulah's Place, a refuge for lost and wandering teens caught up in drugs, alcohol and even sex trafficking. The women speak their hearts, not just their experiences. The reader will see young street people in a whole new light.

Book Description
The “heartbreaking . . . deeply-moving” story of the heroic crusade to save Puerto Rico’s stray dogs, and an impassioned appeal to help all animals in need (Daily Mail). Looking for inspiration and adventure in their lives, Steve McGarva and his wife Pam moved to Puerto Rico. While kite surfing at Playa Lucia, Steve made a shocking discovery—a sick and abandoned dog—that would transform his life. With its shimmering white sand, palm trees, and dazzling azure water, the beach looked postcard perfect. But its beauty hid a dark side: To the locals, this slice of paradise was known as Dead Dog Beach—a notorious dumping ground for the island’s unwanted canines. Considered a threat to the area’s lucrative tourism industry, these defenseless animals were in constant danger of brutality and death. Enraged, and refusing to accept such cruelty, McGarva began protecting these helpless animals—actions that would jeopardize his marriage, challenge his sanity, and make him a target of locals determined to stop him. The Rescue at Dead Dog Beach is the story of Steve’s fearless dedication to hundreds of dogs, and his efforts to expose their systemic abuse. Exposing the true costs of the tourist industry, it is also a call to arms for animal lovers, offering insights and practical information to help strays anywhere in the world. “Stephen McGarva moved to Puerto Rico in search of sun and fun. What he found was a new purpose: saving the island’s abandoned dogs.” —People “This is an amazing story.” —Ellen DeGeneres
