{As featured in Modern Dog magazine} Cooneyโs beautiful novel of redemption and second chances shows that rescue is really a two-way street. The titular Mountaintop School for Dogs is a sanctuary where abused dogs recover from their pasts and are helped on the road to healing. But they are not the only ones forging a path to recovery. A woman outrunning her own down-on-her-luck circumstances lands a job at the Sanctuary out of necessity but, while working to rehabilitate and rescue these wayward dogs, finds she is rescued right back.
