Mommy's Boy: How My Doggie Soulmate's Love Rescued Me

Memoir
What does a single woman do when she longs to be a mother and hears her biological clock tick, tick, ticking away, but she keeps dating Mr. Wrong? She adopts a baby, of course. . . . In the author’s case, it was a fur baby. For fans of Marley & Me, Birdie & Harlow, and Must Love Dogs, Mommy’s Boy is the tale of two lost souls finding the unconditional love, companionship, and emotional support they need, in the process forging a deep and profound bond as close as a mother and child. In his own special way, Benny helps Jennifer overcome her shyness, love without limits, and learn to love herself in preparation for her human soulmate. But when Benny faces a life-threatening illness, Jennifer must face the reality that no matter what we do, our time with our pets is limited. Mommy’s Boy takes the reader on a transformative journey of love, loss, healing, redemption, and learning to love again. A tender and heartfelt tribute, Mommy’s Boy will resonate with anyone who’s lost a fur baby who was more than “just a dog,” he was family.
