Quince Bennet has felt halved all of her life, but never more so than after a dog attack when the voice of her two-faced, Jekyll-Hyde, Shakespeare-spewing dead sister takes up residence in her head.
Determined to face her fears, Quince decides to volunteer at an animal sanctuary in Utah, and perhaps in doing so, she can exorcise her sister’s voice.
At the sanctuary, Quince meets an orphaned teenager and her uncle-turned-guardian with their own misfortunes. They stitch themselves together as a found family, but life unravels them in unexpected ways. The three of them finally realize they need to be more like the dogs they rescue—dogs that embody the slogan: To Err is Human, To Forgive Canine.

“In this novel about love, loss, (dogs and Shakespeare!), Doud gives us three unforgettable characters trying to navigate difficult pasts on the way to a hopeful future. This trio is a touching reminder that people sometimes step onto the stage of our lives for roles other than those we first assumed they’d fill. As Quince, Erik, and the heart-stealing teenaged Zareen figure out who they’re meant to be for each other, we cheer them on in figuring out who they’re meant to be for themselves.”
(Halina Duraj, author of The Family Canon)
