I’m deeply grateful for everyone who has purchased, read, and taken the time to review my book. In the name of tolerance, a special thank you also to everyone who has spread the word to help promote this book. All profits from my books go to help get dogs like Harvey, Barkley, Chello, Paxton and Blinky (see photos below) out of kill shelters. Thus far in 2016, 239 dogs have been freed. Last year 148 dogs were freed.
AND please for everyone who’s purchased a book could I humbly ask you to write a review when you’ve completed the read. Amazon promotes and ranks books according to number of reviews in addition to sales. Every voice helps spread the word and that is an energy that can help a dog.

RECENT REVIEWS FOR THE SEVEN YEAR DRESS
AMAZON U.S.
An almost unbelievable yet so true accounting of a horrible time in history
This was a terrific read. Although a tragic story, it was very captivating. A must read for anyone interested in history, and real life tragedy.
Well written. Excellent characters

About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.
Paulette Mahurin, the author, is a Nurse Practitioner who lives in Ojai, California with her husband Terry and their two dogs--- Max and Bella. She practices women's health in a rural clinic and writes in her spare time. All profits from her book are going to animal rescue, Santa Paula Animal Shelter, the first and only no-kill shelter in Ventura County, CA, where she lives. (see links below on Ventura County Star Article & Shelter)

Thank you so much Lou. It’s definitely a feel good experience to help so many dogs. ❤
Okay, P, this is now getting too much to believe! I hope that there is so much health and happiness in your household during this holiday season that is gushes out into your surrounding neighborhoods! 😉 🙂 ❤
That’s the nicest hope/wish– that we have health and happiness gushing all around. We’re certainly doing a lot of happy dances these days with all the dogs freed. And right back to you, Phil, and your fur baby. 🙂 🙂 ❤
Bella and Choppy seem to have a favorite place in common (of course, as far as Choppy is concerned, I have no idea she loves the couch because I never catch her on it – that could well be her favorite spot!).
I think you’re on to something with Choppy liking the couch as well, as witnessed in all those videos. But shhhhhh, don’t give her away. So funny how food-attention focused they can be. Choppy reminds me of Bella, some of the expressions and antics. Three-paw Max is an avowed couch potato and also loves his dogloo when he’s outside.
MeOwwwwww Max and Bella, ya’ll be absolutely gawjus. We’re so happy to furinally put da woofy to da name. Ya’ll are just as purrfect as we had ‘magined. We’re so glad ya’ll got gotted.

Congratulations again, Paulette! I just love seeing these sweeties experiencing love for maybe the first time. I love your big heart. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you my friend. These sweet fur babies sure do know how to respond to love and respond they do with amazing resilience. A wonderful lesson for all of us. Happy Holidays to you, your family (bipeds and quadrupeds). ❤
Good to see Max and Bella too…look after yourselves.
Max and Bella are happy to be seen, they love their biped friends and I know they’d adore you and Leo and your fur kids. And to you and Leo, we wish you good days filled with laughter and interesting things. Glad to have you as a friend. ❤

Those of you who know me are aware of my advocacy for animals and my intolerance of neglect, cruelty, abandonment. Paulette Mahurin has , helped save 239 dogs from kill shelters with the profits from her books. This is commendable. I cannot abide abuse and wish to thank Paulette for her compassion ♥
