Dr. Rory Evans is a country veterinarian with a life only slightly less colorful than his clients. Jen is a world class Chesapeake Bay retriever breeder. She is called upon to sell one of her puppies to Billy, a rugged, wealthy widower in Australia. Jen's dedication to her breed sends her to the wild Australian forests to complete the sale while she waits for her puppy to be released from quarantine. For a month, she is separated a continent apart from her home and her husband. During this time she finds herself drawn into the novelty of the Australian world surrounding her. Her love of animals, her loneliness, and her need for family send her down a rabbit hole of choices, which ultimately prove disastrous. This veterinary medical thriller delves into love and loss amidst the horror of a deadly and elusive virus as it spreads from one continent to another. The story combines facets of human and veterinary medicine with notions of romance and loyalty amidst the rich tapestry of our interactions with our animal companions.

Dr. Jim Aarons has a unique view of the world, having spent a lifetime, doctoring animals. Since graduating in 1982, from California's UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, he has been responsible for the physical and mental soundness of a vast variety of critters, and as their human friends. With his unique and up-front writing style, Dr. Jim artfully mixes the softness of romance against the harsh canvas of science and history. Pulling ideas from a long life of work with animals, he is sharing his experiences from zoos and ostrich hatcheries, horse stud farms, cattle round-ups, cow dairies, and companion animal medicine cases. With an intriguing, unending palette of horses, medicine, and human nature he has created the Katie Reynolds series, a saga of our early attempts to find a real reason for us to be here. Dr. Jim has worked diligently to craft fictional stories that are not just your garden variety of veterinary tales. His books include his first attempt, "Fear of Failure" an autobiography, followed by the Katie Reynolds series. Thank you for giving me a whirl, and have a great read! ******** "Life is better with horses." *********
