Book Description
When Charles Gusewelle first saw Rufus as a pup, he was a mere tangle of orange and white fur. The plan was that he'd be an outdoor dog. But the feisty, inquisitive Rufus decided otherwise, and quickly made his way inside the house--and soon after, inside his owner's heart. The Rufus Chronicle is Gusewelle's moving chronicle of the thirteen years he spent with his devoted, loyal, and much loved Brittany spaniel, Rufus. It is an affecting, unforgettable portrait of the tender relationship between a man and his dog. As Gusewelle so eloquently notes, "Some of us learn forgiveness by studying the lives of saints. And some of us keep dogs. . . ."

“Self-loathing is a dark land studded with booby traps. Fumbling through its dark underbrush, we cannot see what our trouble actually is: that we are mistaken about ourselves. That we were told lies long ago that we, in love and loyalty and fear, believed. Will we believe ourselves to death?” —from Unworthy As someone who has struggled with low self-esteem her entire life, Anneli Rufus knows only too well how the world looks through the eyes of those who are not comfortable in their own skin. In Unworthy, Rufus boldly explores how a lack of faith in ourselves can turn us into our own worst enemies. Drawing on extensive research, enlightening interviews, and her own poignant experiences, Rufus considers the question: What personal, societal, biological, and historical factors coalesced to spark this secret epidemic, and what can be done to put a stop to it? She reveals the underlying sources of low self-esteem and leads us through strategies for positive change.
