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 great Hyde book..

If you love dogs and sweet stories, you will love this. An easy read . She makes you care about her characters.

Catherine is an amazing author and I’ve enjoyed all her books so far

Of all Catherine Hyde’s books, this was the most enjoyable for me. I love puppies and people. I’m a widow with grown grandkids and going on 8 great grandkids I’ve always loved kids of all ages. I can’t think of anything better that great grandkids playing with puppies. 😍

Don't assume this book us about dogs!

By the picture of the seven puppies on the cover, I assumed this would be a puppy story. In some cases it does center around those seven puppies but beneath the puppy story is a story about bullying and abuse. I really enjoyed this book.

Excellent

I loved this book. It is awesome! The narration is excellent. The story has enough mystery to it to keep you eager to keep reading
