Book description
Dean Koontz's first ever nonfiction book, the deeply moving story of
his life with his good dog Trixie
Dean Koontz is known for exploring the dark side of human nature in his
fiction. But his softer, playful side comes out when he talks about his
beloved dog, Trixie, a golden retriever.
Trixie had a special place in Dean's heart. And now, in this, his first
non-fiction book, Dean opens his heart to his readers to give us
memories of Trixie, of the glorious dog who changed him and changed his life.
There's everything in this memoir: adventure, mischief, emotion, and
sadness too. Dean will talk with joy about the many gifts Trixie gave
him - and the lessons she taught - and he'll talk with sadness at losing
his beloved pet.
The loss of a dog is a heartbreak that's been experienced by a great
many people, and Dean's delving into that loss is a powerful part of
this book, and a cathartic experience for those of us who have loved and
lost an animal companion.
Trixie had a big little life and lives for ever in Dean's heart … and
in these pages. Dean Koontz is an international household name whose
hugely entertaining parables for our times have been bestsellers in many
countries, selling seventeen million copies each year. Born and raised
in Pennsylvania, he lives with his wife Gerda, their dog Anna, and the
enduring spirit of their dog Trixie in southern California.
