“Dean Koontz had thought he was happy. He had been married to his high-school sweetheart, Gerda, since the age of twenty, and they had made a good life together in Southern California. Though famous the world over for his bestselling thrillers exploring the dark side of human nature, Dean’s own life was the picture of peace and contentment. Then along came Trixie. Trixie had trained as a companion dog for the disabled but an injury prevented her taking up the work, and instead she undertook to restore a sense of wonder in the Koontz household - when they hadn’t even known they lacked one. But Trixie had a tremendous impact on their lives, not only because she brought with her a sense of fun and pure love and affection, but also because she taught them that we should trust our intuition as dogs trust theirs, and believe in the miraculous.”--Back cover.
