In The Mother's Promise by Sally Hepworth, Alice is a single mother who has a 15-yr.-old daughter, Zoe. When Alice gets sick with Cancer, she is told that she needs a support person to help her and drive her around. Unfortunately, she has no one except Zoe to count on. Kate, a nurse, and Sonja, a social worker come to her aid, but they are dealing with their own problems. This book is really good! All the characters seem real. I especially loved the parts with Zoe! This is Sally's best book yet! I LOVED IT! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"A Dog Like Daisy" by Kristin O'Donnell Tubb
A Dog Like Daisy by Kristin O'Donnell Tubb is about a veteran who is getting a dog to train to be a certified service dog to help him emotionally. His son, Micah, doesn't like the dog he chose, but their relationship grows friendlier throughout the book. Then ending was a pleasant surprise, but I liked Stay by Bobbie Pyron much better.

Stay by Bobbie Pyron is about a family that has to live in a homeless shelter and a woman who lives on the street with only her small dog to keep her company. It also shows how people can rally around for a good cause and help others who are going through hard times. I especially loved the parts where the dog tells the story. (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

However, one day with Pippa watching, a woman and Gabe talk until the woman is falling off that cliff! To Pippa, it looks like Gabe pushed her, but she doesn't really believe it! Could he have?
