The Meaning Of Home

By Scott I. Fegley

Book Overview

What would life be without second chances? In this poignant debut novel, Charlie, a rescue dog, part Pomeranian and part fox, reflects on the importance of second chances for dogs and humans alike. "The Meaning Of Home" expresses the fundamental hope that we can always get back up again no matter how many times we have fallen. After domestic violence ends his first family, and nearly ends his life, Charlie finds himself in a homeless camp among a collection of destitute people. Despite the harsh conditions, Charlie touches the residents' lives and gives them his abundant comfort, friendship and hope. Charlie first befriends Mary, a mentally ill woman still searching for her lost son. Upon her death, Charlie moves in with Al, a Vietnam veteran and the camp's leader, and partners with Al in ministering to the needs of hurting people. When outside forces threaten to demolish the camp and scatter the residents, Charlie must again overcome adversity in his search for the peace of a permanent home. Heartwarming, humorous, and thought-provoking, "The Meaning Of Home" is more than a story of the special relationship between humans and dogs. It reminds us that a home is not defined by the structure, but the spirit within.
