The Leanin' Dog by K.A. Nuzum - ESSENTIAL

EL-MS - ESSENTIAL

Dessa Dean can't go outside. She hasn't been able to since she saw her mother die on the cold snow. One day a dog comes to her doorstep and gives her hope. But will the dog stay? 

This story touched my heart. This girls love for the dog is just so sweet. I love the way her father cares for her and does what he has to help her. This story definitely deserves to be read.

This is one of my favorite reads of last year. This is such a tender story! I agree it is a must read.
