Such an emotional roller coaster. There are highs and lows. The woman struggles with how to get her father and dog to form a good relationship through their elder years. The father being a past post man does not help the situation and neither does the dog being a huge lab. This book will make you smile one minute and tear up the next.

Warner's book 'My Dad My Dog' outlines the struggles, joys and sorrows children experience while caring for an aging parent. As a reader you easily empathize with the daughter and cheer on her successes. The book reinforces what you already know; enjoy each day that you have with family.

I really wanted to like this one. The novel is from a Southern author and takes place in a Southern setting, both things I appreciate. Plus, I was fortunate enough to win this book via Goodreads Giveaways. And the author was kind enough to sign the book, as well as to include a lovely bookmark, as well as a hand-written note.

All of that said, I only made it to page 122 of 278 before I had to call it quits. The story is the fruit of author Rebecca Warner’s time as a home caregiver for her parents, and it shows. While there is much to learn here about the struggles of ailing parents, something which all of us will likely deal with at some point in our lives, the novel read a bit more like a diary of Warner’s experiences. Perhaps a memoir, infused with a bit more emotion, would have been a better outlet for this tale.

I can recommend this one as immensely valuable for those desiring of learning what it’s like to care for a parent in your home. If you’re looking for moving fiction, this would not be the one to choose.

Regardless, a hearty thank you to Rebecca Warner, Black Rose Writing, and Goodreads Giveaways for the complimentary copy of the book.

A beautifully told story of a daughter’s experience taking care of her ailing father. Charming and heart-warming, this one’s a keeper for me not least because of the way in which she speaks her truth.
