Publisher's summary

In her first work of contemporary women's fiction, bestselling author Kay Bratt draws on her own life experiences to create a raw, yet inescapably warm, novel about friendship and a wary heart's unexpected capacity to love.

A hungry, stray dog is the last thing Cara Butter needs. Stranded in Georgia with only her backpack and a few dwindling dollars, she already has too much baggage. Like her twin sister, Hana, who has broken Cara's heart one too many times. After a lifetime of family troubles, and bouncing from one foster home to another, Cara decides to leave it all behind and strike out alone - on foot.

Cara sets off to Florida to see the home of her literary hero, Ernest Hemingway, accompanied only by Hemi, the stray dog who proves to be the perfect travel companion. But the harrowing trip takes unexpected turns as strangers become friends who make her question everything, and Cara finds that as the journey unfolds, so does her life - in ways she could never imagine.

I'm so thankful for a good, positive, clean story.

This book started slowly for me. My husband and I listened while on a road trip. It took him longer to get into it. Eventually, he asked me to get the story going whenever it was interrupted. It kept him awake while driving. My husband enjoyed it. I'm so disappointed in so many other fiction books, because other books have so much detailed immortality that they make me sick. This book was great. This story involves a dog, but it also addresses being in the foster care system and family relationships and healing. It was refreshing. I will recommend it to my adopted daughter who has adopted many homeless dogs.

Summer Read

Very good light fun read for either a rainy day or a beach day. Nothing too heavy but just enough to keep you coming back. I enjoyed this book. I liked all the characters. They all had a place in Cara's journey. Although her sister did prove to be quite the character in her own right. Performed very well and she was easy to listen to.

Uncommon subject matter a nice change of pace

A thoroughly enjoyable read and very believable relationship with the dog. My only complaint is the lack of development to close the book. I felt like someone said wrap it up in a hurry just add an epilogue and be done with it. I felt robbed.
