Seven Perfect Things

A Novel

By: Catherine Ryan Hyde

Narrated by: Christa Lewis, Ryan Burke, Jess Nahikian

A heart-stirring novel about the joy that comes from finding love in unexpected places by the New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author.

Thirteen-year-old Abby Hubble lives in an unhappy home in the Sierra Nevada foothills where her father makes life miserable for her and her mother, Mary. One day Abby witnesses a man dump a litter of puppies into the nearby river. Diving in to rescue all seven, she knows she won’t be able to bring them home. Afraid for their fate at the pound, she takes them to an abandoned cabin, where all she can offer is a promise that she’ll be back the next day.

To grieving widower Elliot Colvin, life has lost meaning. Looking for solace, he retreats to the hunting cabin he last visited years ago, before his wife’s illness. What he discovers is not at all what he expected: seven puppies and one determined girl with an indomitable heart.

As Abby and Elliot’s friendship deepens, Abby imagines how much better her life - and the puppies’ lives - would be if her mother were married to Elliot instead of her father. But when Abby’s father moves the family hundreds of miles away, Abby and her mother must decide how long they’re willing to defer happiness.

Seven Perfect Things is a story about joy, where to find it, how to know it when you see it, and the courage it takes to hang on to it once you have it.

Another wonderful heartwarming story that you can’t put down

I really love these stories about animals. Especially when there are references about those who don’t like to harm any type of ant. As a vegan I love it when animals are treated well in the stories that I read.

Wonderful Story

I actually laid in the floor with my dog and she was so right. Lol. I loved this story I cried with the complete understanding of what they were going through and I laughed with pure joy that sometimes everything works out. It is a must read/audio story. The performance was also excellent!

Hang onto your heart ❤️

I can always count on Catherine Ryan Hyde for a heartwarming story and this book did the trick and who doesn’t like puppies 💕
