Description
Wilson Steele is a single professor and Vietnam veteran who likes living alone, insisting it's too late for him to have a family. His mother disagrees. When she impulsively adopts a rescued black lab mix, she insists Thurman is special, and has whispered of the coming of grandchildren. Wilson brushes the notion off as fantasy. When his mother learns of her retirement community's 'no pets' policy, she forces Wilson to take the lovable dog. Wilson notices Thurman's growls do sound like words, but he knows he's just projecting his own thoughts on the animal. If Wilson is talking to neighbors on their walks, and spending time with Emily, a widow with three children, it isn't because Thurman encouraged him. After all, everyone knows dogs can't talk. . . can they?

A heartwarming story that dog lovers and those who believe in second chances at love and life will adore.
Denise B, Reviewer
What a great little book! I enjoyed it very much. There was a little bit of a plot twist that I didn't expect which added to the reading pleasure of the book.
Ann K, Bookseller
I want a Black Lab like Thurman. He convinces a family that he can talk and help them with their problems. The Steele family does have their share of problems. Gretna Steele lives in a senior community and one day she sees a commercial for the local animal shelter. She goes and picks out Thurman. When the head of the home tells her she can't have a pet she gets her son Wilson to take Thurman. Wilson is a Vietnam vet who still has a few issues. This is Christian fiction at its very best. Not too preachy but such a wonderful story about asking God to help you find a direction for your life. Dog lovers will adore Thurman and everyone will enjoy this lovely family tale.
