If you are looking for a little book to fill an afternoon when the weather keeps you inside, An Unexpected Grace by Kirsten Van Kiesler is the book for you. The story is about a golden retriever who helps heal a woman while healing herself. Grace is the name of the retriever. Although Grace is nothing like Ruby, my golden retriever, she had a couple similarities that brought back fond memories for me. Grace is timid. Ruby was confident to a fault. Grace isn't sure of herself. Ruby was sure she was the Queen of Sheba and pity the fool who didn't understand that. Grace is gentle. Ruby was Ethel Merman. Grace pays attention to the moods of the humans around her. Ruby did that too. I wouldn't say this was a great story but it heart warming.
