Amazon Customer 5.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking and Inspiring Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024 I agree with the previous reviewer that the character development is captivatin g. I would tell myself, "Just one more chapter" and end up reading several more. The interwoven relationships remind the reader that we influence others (for good or bad) by our attitudes, words, and actions. What may seem insignificant to us, may have a powerful impact on others. Who would have thought that an 1831 painting of a dog would inspire an author to write such a wonderful book? I'm thankful that the dog inspired the painter, who in turn, inspired the author, who inspired this reader. My author website has just been posted (below). Also, link to "Barking at the Moon", a BBC broadcast with my interview. https://barryfstebbing.com https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hjb4r2
