Her older sister Regan is the opposite and is determined to get into the Parson's School of Design with a brilliant essay. She has decided to rescue a dog from the shelter and train it to be a guide dog. When the sisters go to the shelter, one dog Rex starts talking to Grace. Only she can hear him and she convinces Regan to take that mange looking dog. But instead of Regan taking the dog for training, Grace is given the task. What happens is remarkable, with the help of Rex and his uncanny ability to help Grace with the grieving process, she also uncovers the murder of her policeman father. This book really shows what if feels like to lose someone you love. I would recommend it to anyone struggling to overcome loss.
