Ellen Cooney sure has a way with words. She had me immediately with her novel, "A Private Hotel for Gentle Ladies," and now this. Although the first is still my favorite, this one is a high second. Evie, the protagonist, is kind of a lost soul when she comes upon this oddball place called The Sanctuary. it's a place for dogs who have been abused either emotionally or physically. It's also a place for people who love these dogs and in doing so find their love returned threefold! Ellen has problems, but she finds a wonderful resolution to her problems by working with the animals and learning from them, as well as helping to teach them to trust again. It's a heart warming novel that is unlike any other "dog rescue" story I have ever read.
