Produktbeschreibung
A Happy Truth is about four spirited dogs, two clever cats, and fortuitous decisions. An intriguing story with lots of twists and turns and plenty of compassion for the splendid pets that grace our lives, getting from one beloved pet to the next can be an awkward and emotional transition for many. And that's what inspired D.A. Hickman's new memoir. Never "just a dog," "just a cat," after final partings, expected or otherwise, most people feel reluctant to begin anew. Yet, uncertainty creates a stalemate, and time, a precious commodity, slips by. So despite her lingering doubts and trepidation, the author finds a way to forge on until an inspired path emerges-until she finally discovers that last dogs aren't always last. Beloved pets keep us going through the maze of life. Guiding us, inspiring us, and teaching us to stop worrying so much--especially about the next pet. Will there be another cat or dog? Is it the right time, the right season, the right cat or dog? But when we watch a sleeping animal, we know our worries are mostly in vain. We know the story is bigger than yes or no. It's about love. And that's a happy truth.

Autorenporträt
D.A. Hickman, author and poet, is the 2010 founder of SunnyRoomStudio--a creative, sunny space for kindred spirits. Hickman holds a master's in sociology from Iowa State University, and earned her bachelor's in legal studies at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. A member of the Academy of American Poets, the author is at work on a poetry collection and a new nonfiction title. Hickman is also a spiritual thinker. As she wrote in her 2014 nonfiction release, Always Returning: The Wisdom of Place (the second edition of Hickman's first book) ... "Insights we call wisdom must be learned repeatedly: each time, at a deeper, more profound, level." Hickman's memoir, THE SILENCE OF MORNING (Capturing Morning Press, 2015), speaks to loss and grief, but to other societal issues as well. She examines our contemporary culture, its addictive tendencies, and the troubling implications that follow. The spiritual component is a major theme in the book, as well. The author notes that she will always be looking for the deeper story and the universal message to derive a better understanding of the human condition: a path with less suffering, greater awareness.
