"Mary Alice has woven a lovely and memorable tale about a veteran
with PTSD and his service dog. You'll be swept up into the moment
and uplifted in beautiful ways." --Luis Carlos Montalv�n, New York
Times Bestselling Author of Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and
the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him
"Mary Alice Monroe, you are deeply gifted. You made A Lowcountry
Christmas informative. You made it impactful. You made it safe to
read. Taylor's dance with suicide was a place not easily entered.
Miller seemed to pave the way for one to enter... Your setting
didn't skirt the issue, nor did it set off PTSD triggers. You
raised awareness. Thank you for lifting the veil for all your
readers." --Joan Mehew, Dolphin Research Center, Recipient of the
2013 Wounded Warrior Project "Carry It Forward" Award
