Synopsis:
"In each little life we can see great truth and beauty, and in
each little life we glimpse the way of all things in the universe."
DEAN KOONTZ thought he had everything he needed. A successful novelist with more than twenty #1 New York Times
bestsellers to his credit, Dean had forged a career out of industry and
imagination. He had been married to his high school sweetheart, Gerda,
since the age of twenty, and together they had made a happy life for
themselves in their Southern California home. It was the picture of
peace and contentment. Then along came Trixie.
Dean had
always wanted a dog--had even written several books in which dogs were
featured. But not until Trixie was he truly open to the change that
such a beautiful creature could bring about in him. Trixie had
intelligence, a lack of vanity, and an uncanny knack for living in the
present. And because she was joyful and direct as all dogs are, she put
her heart into everything--from chasing tennis balls, to playing
practical jokes, to protecting those she loved.
A retired
service dog with Canine Companions for Independence, Trixie became an
assistance dog of another kind. She taught Dean to trust his instincts,
persuaded him to cut down to a fifty-hour work week, and, perhaps most
important, renewed in him a sense of wonder that will remain with him
for the rest of his life. She mended him in many ways.
Trixie
weighed only sixty-something pounds, Dean occasionally called her Short
Stuff, and she lived less than twelve years. In this big world, she was
a little thing, but in all the ways that mattered, including the effect
she had on those who loved her, she lived a big life.

Synopsis:
Grady Adams lives a simple, solitary life deep in the Colorado
mountains. Here the thirty-five-year-old carpenter works out of a
converted barn, crafting exquisite one-of-a-kind furniture. There’s
little about this strong yet gentle man to suggest the experiences that
have alienated him from the contemporary world. But that is about to
change.
One day, while hiking, Grady spots a pair of
stunningly beautiful furred animals unlike anything he’s ever seen.
They flee the instant they detect his presence, but the mystery of that
brief encounter remains. In the days ahead, Grady will approach the
creatures again, gaining their trust but coming no closer to solving
their mystery. For this he enlists the help of an old friend,
veterinarian Camellia “Cammy” Rivers, who, in turn, is stunned—and
enchanted—by Grady’s new “pets.” But while Grady and Cammy carefully
observe these enigmatic animals for clues to their origin, they, too,
are being watched.
Soon Grady’s home and hundreds of square
miles of surrounding wilderness will be placed under quarantine by
Homeland Security. And Grady, Cammy, and the two creatures they’ve come
to feel they must protect at all costs find themselves virtual
prisoners—and the unwilling focus of an army of biologists,
naturalists, and research scientists. But it’s a stunning event no one
could have foreseen that convinces Grady and Cammy to do the
unthinkable: to escape with the two creatures on a riveting race for
freedom.
