NOTES
Read by Betsy Vereckey
Betsy Vereckey was thirty-seven and newly divorced when she rerouted her life from New York City to a tiny town in New Hampshire that she knew virtually nothing about, except that it was her dog's hometown. She was leaving behind a marriage that had ended, a soulless marketing job, and a Brooklyn apartment overrun with mice. Everything had gone south at once - a particular kind of collapse where the universe is practically yelling at you to take a hint and get your act together. While Betsy's decision to move to New England was motivated by a desperate need for change, along with the fact that she'd been offered a garden apartment she could almost afford, sometimes challenging circumstances and a cosmic hunch lead you right where you're meant to be. At turns humorous and poignant, this memoir tells the tale of a young woman trying to rebuild her life in a new place. It will resonate with dog lovers and readers interested in emotional, intimate tales of self-discovery following life's misfortunes. Whether sharing her experiences with fertility treatment, late-night encounters with bears, bad dates, parental loss, or taking another chance on love, this is an honest, uplifting account of one woman's quest to grow and heal from life's misfortunes. Sometimes you have to make a big change to move forward in life, and sometimes that involves moving to your dog's hometown
