Dear Friends,
I was excited to find Abbie’s wonderful review about King Copper. Hers is another heart touched by the love Copper gave to his family, and the love we gave him in return. I’m humbled and so grateful for the positive feedback rolling in about this very special book. Thanks so much, Abbie! ❤️
Abbie shared my book blurb from Amazon and then included her thoughts, so here is a peek into her review:
“If the above doesn’t make you want to read this book, I don’t know what will. This was how Copper’s story began, and it hooked me right away.
I’ve always loved dogs. When I was growing up, my family had a few. But after being my late husband’s caregiver for six years, I’m not ready to care for another living thing. Instead, I enjoy living vicariously through other people who have dogs. This book helped me do just that.“

A few years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Abbie’s book, Why Grandma Doesn’t Know Me. Below is my 5-star review:
Why Grandma Doesn’t Know Me is the first book by Abbie Johnson Taylor that I have read, and I was thoroughly impressed with her writing. Taylor tells the story about a close-knit family – mom, dad, older and younger daughter, and the mom’s mother who is in a facility suffering with dementia. The grandmother who recalls events from years ago but whose short-term memory fails, shares a secret from the past with the older daughter without realizing it could tear the family apart. I felt compassion for the grandma because one of my family members passed from dementia.
The chapters are written from the perspective of the family members: Daryl, Marti, Natalie, and Sarah, along with compelling supporting characters, and the story smoothly progresses from beginning to end. Taylor prompts the reader to question how this unsettling news would be received and handled in his or her own family. The story is engaging and well-written with surprising twists and turns. I found the characters to be authentic for their roles and ages, and the dialogue to be natural.
The reader will experience a myriad of emotions as the plot unfolds, and there is a lesson to be learned after the turning of the last page. Highly recommended for fiction readers and for those who enjoy stories with a powerful message. I look forward to reading more from this talented author.
But she has a new book out that was released in March, and my paperback is waiting to be read!
Thank you for visiting! I wish you all a fabulous day, and I’ve turned off comments here,
so please visit Abbie’s beautiful site. It would be lovely if you ‘liked’ her post
or took the time to leave a kind comment.
Thanks again, Abbie, for your kindness! I appreciate it very much! ❤️
