Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautiful Litchfield County, Connecticut in the 1960’s. A rural, small New England town where Ellen and her teenage son, Mark are adjusting to life after the untimely death of her beloved husband and Mark’s father, John Rutledge. Doc Elliott is a country veterinarian and old friend of Mark’s parents whose concern, loyalty and love for them is evident from the beginning. This is a good read for all whose four legged friends are an integral part of their lives. The many touching and often amusing interactions of animals with humans are intelligently and compassionately told. Doc Elliott has a significant impact on the lives of his animal patients, their human companions and most importantly Ellen’s and Mark’s lives. The angst and tragedy swirling around them only solidifies their strength and faith in each other. Their inherent goodness appears naïve in contrast to the bold faced cruelty and evilness of Frank Biddle. Into the quiet lives of this group of friends and family he appears. A calculating man who has come seeking revenge and retribution. The growing sinister presence of a man who has learned to carefully script his speech and actions to avoid causing suspicion, culminates in a spiraling tension of action and nerves.
