ONE GOOD DOG tells the story of Adam March and the dog who helps him regain his humanity. Adam is by any measure a success--high level job, a beautiful wife, expensive cars, exclusive home, spoiled daughter. But Adam has a secret. Far from being of the privileged class that he now moves in, Adam comes from a boyhood spent in foster care; a father who has given him up, and runaway sister. He has scars that he bears to no one.

When a mistake by his administrative assistant threatens to expose his past, in trying to save his present, Adam loses everything.

Divorced, jobless, and doing community service in a homeless shelter, Adam acquires a street dog, a pit bull mix who has a difficult background of his own.

This pair learn about trust--and the true meaning of what it means to be human.

 

Reviews:

"[One Good Dog] is taut, with a whiff of allegory, a well-paced story of the human condition, of death and resurrection."

—Jack Shea, The Martha's Vineyard Times

 

"One Good Dog is a wonderful novel: a moving, tender, and brilliantly crafted story about two fighters--one a man, one a dog--hoping to leave the fight behind, who ultimately find their salvation in each other. Susan Wilson's clear and unflinching style is perfectly suited for her story that strips away the trappings and toys we all hide behind, and exposes our essential need to give and accept love in order to thrive."

—Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain

 

"Working and writing with Cesar Millan has taught me that no dog is unredeemable, no matter how horrendous its past. Susan Wilson's evocative and deeply moving novel reminds us that even the most unlikely human can also find redemption, sometimes, with a little help from a canine friend."

—Melissa Jo Peltier, New York Times bestselling co-author of Cesar’s Way

 

"One Good Dog is a wonderful novel of healing and redemption. Chance, the four-legged healer and redeemer, will linger in your mind long after the story is done."

—Spencer Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of Dog On It
