Diggin' Up Bones

Bonnie, I have endorsed many books over the years, but none as powerful as yours "An amazing book, truly. I actually sneaked away from family gatherings to keep on reading Digging Up Bones. It's that good! And I'm not even a dog person. But Bonnie's complete openness about her battle through shame and rejection, her journey to faith and healing through the dogs and the Lord that have changed her life, had me crying and clapping. Bonnie writes like a poet, with crystal-clear images and raw emotion, so every story has a powerful unforgettable message for the reader. If you or anyone you know has need for healing, encouragement, and a better life, please get this book."

As Marion Roach Smith says in her Foreword, "Do not mistake this for a mere dog tale. It is nothing of the sort." She is correct. While there is a dog in the story, the true story is about faith and hope and healing. And this is a love story.

We know, maybe directly and maybe anecdotally, the damaging power of shame and its sneaking ways in shrinking lives and drawing us down. But we can now learn from Wright and her magnificent story ways other than therapy or drugs to heal hearts and be expanded back to wholeness. When love arrives to help us heal we may not choose its form or its species. But love it is and Wright shows us how very powerful it can be. This is a great book.

Ah, the power of pets... They can get us out exercising when our body says no, make us laugh when we didn't think that we had anything to laugh about, get us up in the morning when we would rather cover our head with the blanket, and, like Bonnie Wright, be a reason to take better care of ourselves and heal a broken spirit.

As this gifted author shares her path of recovery, she artistically unveils the heart of her beloved canine companion, Saxon, and realizes that the rough beginnings of this dog parallel her own broken life. It is then that she recognizes their destiny as soulmates, not only to mend the spirit of one another but also to provide the gentle guidance to do the same for others.

Making a difference in the lives of others makes life worth living. Bonnie and Saxon do this with abundance, touching-and making a difference-for all who read their story.
