But when Nick, their older boy, gets diagnosed with cancer at the age of seventeen, their lives take a horrific turn. Powerfully and heart-wrenchingly narrated, Squirrel At My Throat explores the difficulties of being a non-conformist in a conventional society, the joy and horror of raising children as well as the extremes of all that life has to offer, from moments of exquisite happiness to the utmost despair, all done with great honesty as well as a vast amount of personal experience. The author puts forth unique perspectives on parenting, family, life and death that may offer comfort and assistance to all those struggling to survive in a world that dismisses anything that doesn’t fit into a neat and comfortable box.

Book Description
Name's Dart-short for d'Artagnan. You may not think much of a grizzled old German Shepherd with a torn ear and a nasty bite, but, trust me, when you've spent your whole life dogging it out in the pound, you learn appearances can be deceiving. I mean, just look at that squirrel. Nutty, crazy, you name it. If that sly squirrel isn't chewing up Banshee's homework and blaming me, she's stealing my food, following me around the house, stealing my food, biting my tail, and, did I mention the worst part, stealing my food! This is outrageous! A proud purebred-okay, semi-purebred-German Shepherd such as myself can't stand for this! I'll sit. Hey, since you're here, why don't you listen up to my complaints? All my doggy pals like them-and their reviews are a little "ruff."

Book Description
Every puppy hopes for a loving family and a loyal master, but not all dogs are so lucky. Some dogs are destined to come from the wrong side of the tracks, regardless of how they started out. Jack was such a dog. He was placed into a dysfunctional family dominated by an abusive teenager. Jack remained locked in his fenceless prison for more than half his life until his master decided he was no longer wanted. Abandoned on an isolated island, Jack figured out how to survive. He created a new life for himself—a life far different from what he had hoped for. Jack endured hunger, thirst, heat, rain, mosquitoes, and the wrath of other animals. When he became the victim of a vicious attack, he struggled for every breath, hoping to be saved before it was too late. Rescued by strangers, Jack gets a second chance. He finds his way to a forever home, to a family struggling with grief at the loss of their beloved dog. Technically, Jack is a rescue dog, but in truth, he provides a lifeline to his adopted family as much as they pulled him out of his own dire circumstances. Jack’s life is a story of survival and triumph, of new beginnings and redemption. Now They Call Me Jack is a tenderly written novel inspired on true events. Jack tells his own story with poignant truthfulness and good humor.
