About Love in the Dark: A Story of Rescue, Recovery and Unconditional Love (The Dog Rescue Series Book 1):
Leslie had been looking forward to getting a dog all her life. Ever since she was a little girl, the only thing Leslie could remember was wanting a puppy. But her mom was allergic to both dogs and cats, so having a pet other than her goldfish was out of the question. She loved going to the homes of friends who had dogs, as she got to play and interact with them, but she always felt a little empty inside when she had to go home to her dog-less house. But today, that all changed. But Leslie never counted on finding a little Yorkie at the shelter, blinded by abuse and slated for destruction. No one wanted her. Once in her arms, Leslie is faced with the decision of her life. Take on what appears an unsurmountable task by adopting this special needs dog, or taking the safe route and passing her by for a fully intact companion. The story that unfolds will touch your heart and have you cheering at the end.
