An uplifting and heartwarming tale about community and hope, and the transforming power of canine companionship from the bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things

The next uplifting, feel-good read about friendship, our furry friends, and the joy of second-chances from the million-copy bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things.

It's never too late for a fresh start - whether you're on two legs or four.

When burnt-out city vet Leona Lennox moves to the market town of Fiddlers Green determined to set up a dog rescue centre, recently divorced Desmond Leaks takes an instant shine to her and makes a rash promise to get his college band back together for some fundraising gigs.

Although The Wild Boys haven't played together in years, Desmond and his best friend Johnny have no trouble persuading their old drummer to reform as The Stray Dogs. But charismatic frontman Darcus McGuire, the magic ingredient in the original line-up, is harder to track down, and Desmond is strangely reluctant to try
.
After a disastrous first gig and objections by the neighbours, the future of the rescue centre looks ever more uncertain. But the residents of Fiddlers Green are not to be underestimated, particularly when the fates of their four-legged friends are at stake.

And meanwhile, the elusive Darcus McGuire might just be ready to make a comeback.

Lost dogs and lost people alike find new beginnings and unexpected routes to happiness in this gorgeously uplifting story filled with Ruth Hogan's trademark wit and warmth.
