From award-winning author, Linda Watkins, comes a story of two women, from different walks of life, and the one dog who loved them both....

A feature writer for the Boston Globe, Sarah Palmer had it all - a beautiful apartment, a great job, and a family she adored. A thousand miles away, Mindy Sue Watson didn't have it so good. Trapped in a marriage to an abusive alcoholic, her only pleasure was in tossing a ball to a skinny dog she'd adopted from the local shelter.

Sarah & Zoey is the tale of these two women and the one remarkable dog who saved them both. It is a story of the power of unconditional love.

"Three disparate lives - two human, one canine - whirl through a circle of circumstance that is poignant, involving, and especially moving to dog lovers who want a novella about crisis, escape, and recovery. Sarah and Zoey can be read in short segments, so it's perfect for busy fiction readers who want high drama packed into succinct chapters. The mechanics whereby loss and endangered lives heal are nicely portrayed in a winning story that emphasizes hope and offers an involving tale dog lovers will relish." ~D. Donovan, MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

"Every character is beautifully drawn, the contrasting lives and settings are vivid and so very different, the pace is fast, and the end utterly unpredictable. Sarah & Zoey is a powerful, heart-tugging story that must be read at one sitting; it's too enthralling to put down. I loved this five-star novella, and I'll be looking for more by Linda Watkins" ~Sarah Stuart for READERS FAVORITE

"A heart-warming novella with a feel-good factor that readers of this genre will enjoy immensely." ~Jane Finch for READERS FAVORITE
