A TRIBUTE TO OUR MILITARY PAST AND PRESENT AND TO THE SPECIAL DOGS WHO PROTECT US AND LOVE US.
A TRIBUTE TO OUR MILITARY PAST AND PRESENT AND TO THE SPECIAL DOGS WHO PROTECT US AND LOVE US.
You may never look at your dog or any dog in the same way again. When the black dog is found at a murder scene, fear, loyalty, love and the ghosts of war begin to converge. Lives will be challenged and changed, but for the good or bad? Is the black dog the ancient symbol of death and the devil, or a sign of a better future and redemption for three troubled souls? When Edwin and Lee Christian opened the St. George Inn on the square of an historic and idyllic mountain town they had no idea of how brutal the future might be. When Noah Harris returned from Iraq and ran for sheriff to protect the mountain folks that he loved, he had no clue of how difficult that might become. For over thirty years Cliff Barr had been hiding on the mountain trying to forget the tragedies of Vietnam. The world was about to find him. The almost forgotten legend of the Cherokees' Black Dogs comes to life in a very real and life changing way.
About the Author
Dogs and people are my passion...in no particular order. Good dogs and good people are the glue that hold societies and families together. I graduated from Cornell's Hotel School and spent my career in the hotel industry. I flew over a million miles and listened to the stories of thousands of people...their lives, beliefs and experiences. I write based on showing the relationships between people, and in this book people and dogs. Relationships are the real essence of life. If you write from your heart, people can read with their heart. Black Dog Redemption is a combination of those relationships, a tribute to our armed forces and law enforcement and their sacrifices, and a very special dog. My attachment to and admiration for dogs comes from the dogs I've had the good fortune of having a close relationship with. I live in North Georgia with Maggie, my comical and dedicated canine friend.
