Advance Praise
From the attention-grabbing opening paragraph, to the joyful conclusion, Ruth Hogan has stirred together a charming fairy tale in which the people may be more lost than the things; a generosity and compassion may be the key to finding a new home. Also there are dogs. Delightful. - Helen Simonson
Warm, witty and wise, this is a magical novel to fall in love with. - Ronald Frame
