All profits from my books go to help dogs like these get out of kill shelters.

I’m quickly becoming a fan of Paulette Manhurin! I read her other book, To Live Out Loud, so I went into this one with high expectations. Not only did Manhurin meet those expectations, she far exceeded them with this brilliantly written book.
Who knew that a book about dying could be filled with so much life and vibrancy? Diagnosed with terminal cancer, a couple find true love and begin really living for the first time. Parts of this book were so emotional for me, like when Sara had a double mastectomy and had to learn that her value and womanliness had more to do with her personal strength than her physical appearance. This story is a real tearjerker, but at the same time…I didn’t feel sorry for them; in fact, at times I envied their strengths, love, and ability to persevere in the face of impending death. I won’t forget this story for a long time. This book is truly

This is a beautiful story about two people whose lives are changed after a chance meeting. Both have cancer with minimal chances of survival but find hope, strength, love and renewed passion for life through each other. This book, based on real life events, is moving, uplifting and life affirming. It reminded me of The Fault in Our Stars, but an adult version. These beautifully written characters and their affecting story are going to stick with me for a long time. Profits for this author’s book go to help rescue dogs.
TO LIVE OUT LOUD: REVIEWS AND PURCHASE LINK
on October 19, 2015
I’m a futurist by nature, and so reading sci-fi and fantasy and anything to do with the near and far future occupies the bulk of my leisure time. But every once in a while a writer comes along to connect me to the past in such a way that it’s every bit as much fun to time travel back in time. This is one of those authors and one of those books. I found Emila Zola, as a fellow writer and artist, upon whose life To Live Out Loud is based, quite the kindred spirit. He is if anything a bolder soul, braver, more uncompromising, and a hero not just in his writing but in real life, but it is impossible for any artist not to feel a strong affinity for him. He risks all in this story to champion the injustice done to a Jewish military officer in a time in France when the largely catholic population demonized Jews. His tireless investigations and pursuit of the truth amidst lies, shams, public deceits, all enacted on the part of the government and the military, wielding all their tools of oppression against one solitary individual, serve to inspire us all that hope is never lost even when facing such a corrupt and all-powerful foe. This tale, as timely today as it was in the late 1800s in which the story is set, should serve to inspire the reader to live a more activist lifestyle and to champion their own causes, fighting injustice wherever they may find it. The premise of this fact-based story on its own is quite moving, but the writing is every bit up to the task of conveying such a tale, strong, confident, lean and journalistic, itself an homage to Zola’s own career as a journalist.

Well written and enjoyable
Great to see these dogs in their new homes.
❤
I heard a chorus of dogs barking the other day. I swore when I passed I heard them say…”hey have you heard about that amazing dog lady Paulette…..” 🙂
Oh I love that. But it’s probably my big mouth rottie Max who can be heard barking around the world, lol. And he’s most likely saying, “feed me!” I love ya, Colleen and thanks for your always supportive loving comments. Big hug. ❤
Your welcome Paulette. Loving right back!
❤
Presently am fostering an orphaned kitten.
Good job you do.
Yisraela
Aww, bless your sweet heart for fostering. ❤
Doggie happy dances all around! 🙂
Lotsa happy doggie wagging dances! 🙂
Delighted over puppies finding forever home and Paulette getting more incredible reviews. Congratulations! 🙂 ❤
Thanks so much, Tess. So nice to see you pop in here. ❤ 🙂
I pop in when I can, Paulette, though these days it’s been busy. Nice to talk with you. ❤ ❤
Understand, Tess. Same this end. 🙂

The thing is, people can buy your books and have a super reading experience….they don’t just buy them to help save these precious little souls.
That’s so kind of you to say, Helen. Thank you. ❤
Happy dogs in happy homes make me smile. You’re wonderful and doing wonderful work. Love, Harlon
Smiling right with you. And the best part is so are the doggies. Win-win all around. ❤
Reblogged this on tazziesplace and commented:
Book sales translate to doings finding homes. Grrrrreat news.
❤
Wonderful. Love the animals. What a great gift you give them. Truly.
Oh I love them too. It’s a win-win all around and it’s so rewarding to see them happy and safe. ❤
It must give you immense pleasure to see the results of your very generous and charitable heart. You are a sweetheart and so are the dogs in the photos.
It’s the best feeling – to help. And especially dogs, who give back so much in return. Thank you for your very kind words, Yvonne. ❤
I am celebrating with you! Hugs and lots of love!
Oh I love celebrating with you, Rebecca. And you betcha there is a lot of wagging going on. ❤
Yaaaay, thanks for the pics – it’s always nice to see the ‘lucky’ ones in their new homes with their new family!
It sure is, Barb. The result of getting them out of cages and with someone to love, and be loved, is a dramatic turn around. They show the best gratitude. ❤
Great news, to see all those happy dogs .
You are a special and wonderful lady , dear Paulette. ❤ xxx
Happy dogs, safe dogs, fills my heart. I’m the lucky one to be a small part of helping out. ❤
Home Sweet Home! What a great title. The love is in the look. And they all look loved. 🙂
That’s so true, that the love is in the look. It’s a relief to see it, especially when I saw the look when they were turned into kill shelters and in cages. They turn around instantly and that never ceases to amaze me, their ability to forgive and be happy in the moment with a friend. ❤
So great that they find a new home .Thanks ! You’re such a warm person.
It is really great, Lou. ❤
I love these stories, Paulette. Bless you for the work you do!
Thank you so much. I love that a few dogs have found their way to safety and loving homes. Just a dent in a huge problem but each smiling face and wagging tail makes all the difference. ❤
While the doggies are smiling, we’re smiling too 🙂 The reviews are so great again, dear Paulette! Pawkisses for all the doggies and one extra especially for you 🙂 ❤
It’s always sweeter and more joyful when you stop by and leave your wonderful pawkisses. And of course the day wouldn’t be complete without sending a whole bunch back to you. 🙂 ❤
…so sad for “Old girl Chelsea”…but not every one of these lovely beings can be saved, that much I must remember…still: so sad for her
Yes, it’s sad she was turned in at an old age but luckily she was rescued and now is living her last days with a family doting on and loving her. Thank goodness. ❤

Can’t imagine life without them and their adorableness. So happy you stopped by to share in the joy here. ❤
Nice to look at all those adorable faces!
Yes it is. 🙂
