★★★★★ Didn’t realize this was a Juvenile book when I got the audio from the library for a challenge on “Southern Belles” -- but I’m glad I listened to tale of a motherless preacher’s daughter who adopts a big mangy dog. Loved this short story and Cherry Jones' narration is wonderful. She is so good, I may even listen to it again!

Update: I did lisen to it twice - it was that good.

UniquelyMoi *Dhestiny* BlithelyBookish Didn't they make a movie about this?


Lisa Kay I believe so, but I haven't seen it. You know, I'm thinking I might rate it higher; it is so cute, I'm listening to it again!


Christine (Cagnes) There is a movie, parts were filmed in my area, the town of Thibodaux, Louisiana. I'm a big fan of Dave Matthews, he's in the movie! I enjoyed the movie, but haven't read the book.


Lisa Kay Oh, the audio is great, Christine! Do you know who Cherry Jones is? The actress who played the Sheriff in Signs?

That is so neat that it was filmed near you.
