At sixty-three, June Howard thought she wanted peace and quiet. Life (and love) had other plans...

June Howard runs a once-bustling boarding house that's now mostly home to dogs and dust. At sixty-three, she's tired. Tired of money worries, of loneliness, and of pretending she's content with a quiet life. And that's when life decides to get interesting.

When the town's aging doctor begins losing his memory, June takes him in. Then a runaway teen appears on her doorstep (with a gigantic, shaggy dog in tow) and insists he's family. June isn't so sure. Then came the boy's teacher, his friends, more dogs, and before long, her house and her heart are far too full for the solitude she thought she wanted.

As this unlikely group of misfits stumbles their way toward connection, June discovers something she never expected: her true self, her true sexuality, and the joy that comes from living and loving without apology. Filled with humour, warmth, and heart, Shaggy Jack is a tender, funny story about found family, second chances, and finding love at any age.

It's a coming of age (at any age) story that shows it's never too late to find your people (or yourself).
