Description
Joyce Stranger and Inkeri Pitkänen weave a gripping tale set against the backdrop of a rural community grappling with the chaos of a virus epidemic sweeping through its dog population. As the townsfolk rally to support each other, unexpected tragedies unfold, including a calf that meets a tragic fate in a cesspool, and a bull that succumbs to a frenzy of madness.
Amidst the turmoil, the characters are forced to confront their fears and resilience. The community’s bond is tested as they navigate shocking events that threaten their way of life. This is more than just a story of loss; it's about the strength found in unity and the indomitable spirit of those facing adversity.
As the narrative unfolds, the intertwining lives of humans and animals reveal deeper themes of hope, survival, and connection. Readers are taken on an emotional journey, exploring the impact of nature and circumstance on a tightly-knit community, and how they strive to overcome the odds.
