The seventh one

by Elizabeth Yates

Man's best friend -- over time, seven of them belong to Tom Wilson. Each comes in its turn with its own gift -- comfort when Tom feels life's deepest wound, purpose when it is time to move ahead. Bre'er: chief consort; Tag: a mystery; Laird: an aristocrat; Dawn: a healer; Victor: take charge; Nell: knows no strangers; Una: the future. - Back cover.
