Helpful Score: 2

This book had me right from the get-go. It's poignant, funny, mysterious, sad, and a bit of a thriller in the end! Best of all....it made me feel good. The heroine of the book loses her husband, picks up stakes and moves away telling no-one the truth of what she's just gone through or who she really is. She "rediscovers" herself on an island in Maine as an animal control warden through the love of a motley crew of a wounded dog, a nutty cat, a woman who has special gifts with colors, and an anorexic girl who learns to eat again even if its only dogfood. There's a few twists and turns in here that you won't see coming....yet it's not sappy or formulaic. Call me crazy, but something about this book kept me up at night to finish it. It's a winner. I give it a 4 out of 5.
