Kelly Delmonico believes she is a happily married professional woman living in Upstate New York with her teenage daughter, Darcy, and her husband Deke, who is her business partner in their local family business. Their golden retriever, Ella, who is Kelly's best friend, unexpectedly dies. To combat the loneliness and grief Kelly suffers, she seeks counseling. Deke convinces her to get another dog. Kelly chooses an eight-week-old puppy, a golden retriever, that she named Joshua.

Cracks in Kelly's relationship with Deke slowly become more apparent to her as she helps Darcy through her struggles with Deke and copes with her own longings and misgivings with him. Tensions mount after Darcy leaves home to go to college and Deke's behavior becomes more erratic. At first, Joshua is just Kelly's playmate and companion. As Joshua picks up on Kelly's growing anxiety and fears, he helps her to manage them. He supports her, watches over her, and protects her.

Humorous and shocking at times, Kelly and Joshua's gripping story will inspire. Their love for each other will warm every heart.
