Leigh Somerville delivers the third and last novel in the trilogy that began with It All Started with a Dog. In her debut as a novelist, she created what has been called a "feel good book for not-so-feel good times" and captured the hearts of readers who eagerly awaited the sequel, All Good Things. The same theme - the importance of community in a world where edges are sometimes painfully rough - runs through these final pages. The challenges of love and loss - and all the lessons learned along the way - come alive in the characters and stories woven together by one common thread - a little black dog. A dog that does what all dogs do to smooth out life's rough edges. Anyone who knows a dog - especially a black dog - knows what that something is. Black dog magic.
