Sam Peek's children are worried - since the day his wife of 57 years died - no one knows how he will survive. How can this elderly man live alone on his farm? How can he keep on driving his old truck down to the fields to care for his few rows of pecan trees? And when Sam begins telling his children about a white dog, as white as snow, that seems invisible to everyone else, his children think that grief and old age have racked their father's mind.
But whether it is a real canine or a phantom, Sam Peek - "One of the smartest men in the South when it comes to trees" - outsmarts them all. Sam and White Dog will dance from the pages of this bittersweet novel and into your heart, as they share the mystery of life, and begin together a warm and moving final rite of passage.
