Waiting on Wednesday (38)

-
 Waiting on Wednesday was a daily meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and inspired Can't Wait Wednesday hosted by Wishful Endings.  It highlights what newly released books us bloggers are most excited to read.
Title: A Dog's Courage
Author: W. Bruce Cameron
Synopsis (via Goodreads): Bella was once a lost dog, but now she lives happily with her people, Lucas and Olivia, only occasionally recalling the hardships in her past. Then a weekend camping trip turns into a harrowing struggle for survival when the Rocky Mountains are engulfed by the biggest wildfire in American history. The raging inferno separates Bella from her people and she is lost once more.  Alone in the wilderness, Bella unexpectedly finds herself responsible for the safety of two defenseless mountain lion cubs. Now she’s torn between two equally urgent goals. More than anything, she wants to find her way home to Lucas and Olivia, but not if it means abandoning her new family to danger. And danger abounds, from predators hunting them to the flames threatening at every turn.  Can Bella ever get back to where she truly belongs?  A Dog’s Courage is more than a fast-paced adventure, more than a devoted dog’s struggle to survive, it’s a story asking that we believe in our dogs as much as they believe in us.

My Thoughts: I am ready to cry... because that's inevitable for me when I read Cameron's work.  My mom pushed me to read A Dog's Purpose and I've read every single one of his books since.

What are you waiting on this week?
