Produktbeschreibung

Who rescued who? In California's Central Valley in 1953, the love of a neglected dog helps an abused girl find healing, and the caring family she never had.

Bet Carter's stepfather is a conman with a history of violence, and he's trying to force thirteen-year-old Bet into that life, too. His controlling ways make Bet's world smaller every day, until the death of her ailing mother gives the girl an opportunity to flee to her Uncle Earl's.

Bet only planned a quick stopover in Amberfields, but after her uncle welcomes her into his home, she keeps finding excuses to stay. Bet wants to help Uncle Earl's foster dog, Penny, learn to trust againbut how can the girl mend Penny's spirit when her own is so broken?


Joining a hilarious prank war with her new friend Georgie goes a long way to making Bet feel at home in Amberfields. As Bet's emotional armor softens, along with her reasons to leave, she finally allows herself to dream bigger.

This heartfelt coming-of-age story will have you cheering for a girl whose determination and optimism help her rediscover the healing power of love.

Autorenporträt

Angelica R. Jackson, in keeping with her scattered Gemini nature, has published articles on gardening, natural history, web design, travel, hiking, and local history. Other interests include pets, reading, green living, and cooking for food allergies (the latter not necessarily by choice, but she's come to terms with it). Ongoing projects include short fiction, poetry, novels, art photography, and children's picture books. In 2012, she started Pens for Paws Auction, which features critiques and swag from agents and authors to raise money for a no-kill, cage-free cat sanctuary called Fat Kitty City. She's also been involved with capturing the restoration efforts for Preston Castle (formerly the Preston School of Industry) in photographs and can sometimes be found haunting its hallways.

An incurable joiner, she is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (where she served most recently as Illustrator Coordinator for her local chapter), is an alumna of the group blog Operation Awesome, and debuted with the collection of authors known as The Fearless Fifteeners.

She shares a home in California's Gold Country with a husband, a rescued Basset Fauve de Bretagne dog, and a reformed-feral tabby, and far too many books (if that's even possible). She is the author of Crow's Rest, a darkly funny young adult urban fantasy, and her photos are collected in Capturing The Castle: Images of Preston Castle (2006-2016)
