Everybody Died So I Got A Dog

Emily Dean · 2019 · 291 pages

Growing up with the Deans was a fabulous training ground for many things: ignoring unpaid bills, being the most entertaining guest at dinner and deconstructing poetry. It was never home for the dog Emily craved. Shared the lively chaos with her beloved older sister Rachael, her rock, through the years the sisters bond grew closer. As Rachael went on to have a cosy family and treasured dog, Emily threw herself into unsettled adventure - dog ownership remaining a distant dream. Then, tragically, Rachael was diagnosed with cancer. In just three devastating years Emily lost not only her sister, but both her parents as well. This is a story of how Emily discovers that it is possible to overcome the worst that life can throw at you, that it's never too late to make peace with your past and that the right time is only ever now, as she finally starts again with her very own dog.
