Author of Dogs Have Angels Too
Every once in a while, there is a story that makes us laugh and cry and feel grateful for what we have. This is one of them. In the dog-eat-dog world of New York City, the irrepressible Miss Pink leads a pack of down-on-their-luck women, who ultimately find everything they need in the most unlikely of places: an overcrowded animal shelter. Miss Pink, a former marketing executive and divorcee makes it her mission to find homes for a growing bevy of cuddly canines. Her “adoption walks” bring her to meet a series of fellow New Yorkers, all of whom are struggling with their own crises. Each time life seems to kick Miss Pink when she’s down she gets up, dons a new pink outfit, and presses onward. It’s as if the ammo she needs falls right into her hands and she yields the ultimate weapons: faith, walking shoes, and love. This is just what she; and of course, her four-legged friends, need.
