Homeward Hearts

Grab the tissues (and the bacon)—this one’s a laugh-through-your-tears kind of ride. Clare faces the hardest summer yet as Teddy slows down, then pulls the ultimate disappearing act—only to reappear as the most mischievous spirit-guide in pet history. Expect tender naps in sunbeams, dramatic Hawaiian-shirt flashbacks, and a posthumous PR campaign so effective that hamsters, parrots, and an exacting cat all show up at Clare’s clinic saying, “Teddy sent me.”

Funny, fierce, and absolutely full of heart, Homeward Hearts is about love that refuses to leave, grief that learns to breathe again, and one very persuasive dog who proves you can still run a viral referral network from the great beyond. If you like warm hugs, ridiculous animal cameos, and the comforting certainty that love says “See ya later,” this book is your next cozy, tear-and-laugh-packed obsession.
