FROM GOODREADS: From Neil Abramson, the acclaimed author of Unsaid,
comes a riveting novel that explores the complex connection between
humans and animals. Veterinarian Samantha Lewis and her team are
dedicated to providing a sanctuary for unwanted, abused, and abandoned
dogs in New York City. But every day it gets harder operate her no-kill
shelter. Sam is already at her breaking point when she learns of an
unidentified, dangerous virus spreading through their neighborhood. The
medical community can only determine that animals are the carriers. Amid
growing panic and a demand for immediate answers, suspicion abruptly
falls on dogs as the source. Soon the governor is calling in the
National Guard to enforce a quarantine--no dog may leave the area.
Samantha knows from her own painful history that, despite the lack of
real evidence against the dogs, a quarantine may only be the beginning.
As questions about the source of the virus mount and clash with the
pressure for a politically expedient resolution, Sam is forced to make
life-altering choices. She finds allies in a motley crew of New
Yorkers--a local priest, a troubled teen, a smart-mouthed former
psychologist, and a cop desperate to do the right thing--all looking for
sanctuary from their own personal demons. But the person Sam needs the
most to unravel the mystery of the virus and save the dogs is the last
one she'd ever want to call on--because contacting him will mean
confronting the traumatic past she has fought so hard to escape.
