Description
"Barry Knister's JUST BILL is gentle and wise without kitsch or sentimentality." M.Phillips
"The story of Bill the dog brought me joy. A must read for all dog lovers!!" Lorraine
If you love and respect dogs, could you ever give up your own?
JUST BILL raises that painful question in Barry Knister’s emotionally charged story of three outsiders. Devoted and loyal to the man who rescued him, Bill lives at the Donegal Country Club. He’s a gentle giant among lapdogs, but maybe Bill’s just too big.
Another oddity is ex-Lands' End model Glenda Gilmore. It's true she married an older man for his money--and it's also true she soon came to love him. But even after her husband dies, other club wives still think Glenda’s a gold digger.
As for ten-year-old Ruby, her father remarried and has a new baby. No longer the light of his life and afraid of losing her dad's love, Ruby tells a lie that forces her grandfather to give up Bill. In the end, the dog’s journey leads to healing—for Ruby, Glenda, and Bill’s master.
"JUST BILL captures the way things really are between dogs and owners." P.Longstreth
