Megan was on her third deployment to the Middle East when she was seriously wounded. After almost a year in VA hospitals, Megan is sent home in a wheelchair with the limited use of one hand. Rosie, a South Boston girl, planned on being a successful career woman, but one wrong man and one bad decision put her in prison with a 16-year sentence. When she joins a new program to train therapy dogs, Rosie finds a new sense of purpose, and when her first dog is matched to Megan, they find friendship. But their past mistakes may prevent new beginnings. Readers should be prepared for the unlimited joy and respect Wilson (Two Good Dogs, 2017) once again lavishes on canine kind, while human characters are given diverse and intricate backgrounds plus plenty of opportunity for emotional connections with two- and four-legged companions. Megan and Rosie's story lines illuminate the lives of service animals, how they're trained and the work they do. This is a great choice for book discussions, for readers looking for new (fictional) friends, and for tender-hearted dog lovers.--Stacey Hayman Copyright 2019 Booklist
