Beyond the Evergreens: A Story of A Boy, His Dog, and Their Final Adventure (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780578622231)

Animals can become such an important part of every family's life. Indeed, they become family members. That's the relationship between Peter and his dog, Duke, in Beyond the Evergreens. They are the best of friends, almost like brothers. The possible loss of a pet can be devastating for any family--especially for a child--like Peter.

On most Saturdays, Peter and Duke go on an adventure into the woods, and today is such a day. However, today's journey will be far from ordinary, as fate will guide them past the "ten-pace rule" that keeps them within Mom's line of sight. Today, Duke will take Peter a little farther than usual, to a place beyond the evergreens, where their lives will never be the same and the young boy will have to make big decisions.

Beyond the Evergreens is a must-read for anyone, especially a child, who has experienced the loss of a pet and is looking for words of comfort to endure an often painful time for the whole family.
