en Limba Engleză Paperback
Meet Sasha and Saoirse, who are unlikely animal friends. Their safe and loving world they were adopted into is without warning stolen from them. Join them on their journey through an unfamiliar and testing world as they attempt to go back home. One man's good deed casts them into a cruel and heartless place that will never become 'home away from home'. Here, in the farmyard, they meet the wise and comical Jack, a knowledgeable friend to them. He provides welcome relief from his owner's cruelty and misplaced anger towards them. Saoirse promises Sasha that they will always have each other but one day she leaves the farmyard without him. Heartbroken, Sasha has to deal with the reasons why, but decides before he goes in search of their home, he has to find her first. Home invites the reader to walk in the paw steps of these endearing animals. Their emotional and testing journey teaches us some of life's greatest lessons. It steals from them hope and suddenly restores it, just when they are about to give up. The reader is led chapter by chapter down many roads with familiar Irish landscapes and occasions but it is the answer to the question, 'will they find their way home?' that keeps the reader engaged. Home brings together quirky dogs, cute cats and wise horses, whose relationships and accepting ways are admirable and enviable. It also gives us insight into the world of an animal with no home. This beautiful thought-provoking story gives animals a voice; it reminds us that animals feel the same array of emotions we do. They also crave a place to call home. Home will leave paw prints in your heart and in your mind forever. *Home is of equal appeal to children, teenagers and adults. ** Home is based on rescue animals who now live with the author. *** Proceeds from this book will go towards helping rescue animals.
