In this beautifully written story of a woman in transition, Carol Quinn embarks on a journey of self-discovery and imparts hard-won life lessons with insight and humor. Reeling professionally from the economic downturn and immersed in a rocky relationship with her fiancé, Henry, Quinn seeks a new approach to life that will lead to happiness. She finds it, unexpectedly, in the figures of her two delightful Rhodesian ridgebacks, Nairobi and Sheila. Quinn enrolls the dogs in an agility training class--a physically demanding sport that channels the spontaneous nature of dogs into a beautiful, synchronized dance with humans. On the field, Quinn meets Irina, a world-class dog agility trainer--part Zen master, part taskmaster--who schools her in the ways of dogs and humans. Observing her dogs' natural instincts, Quinn learns to trust her own. This refreshingly honest memoir is like a great conversation with a wise, funny friend.
