What Readers Are Saying

"Desiree, The Music of My Soul, is so much more than a story of a dog that was rescued. It’s a love story, an inspirational love-at-first-sight story told through poetic language and vivid imagery. Peggy Race’s life leaps off the page, much as Desiree could leap over a six-foot fence. This story illustrates the depth to which friendship and love, be it human or canine, can transform a life. Not just for animal lovers, this book is engaging and universal, a reminder of the joy that comes from opening your heart."

--Carrie Newberry, author of Pick Your Teeth With My Bones

"I have received my first copy of Deputy Paws and I'm so excited. This little book is going to be SO useful getting the word out about puppy mills. It covers all the important points in a manner that young children as well as older can benefit from. The message is great and the illustrations are sweet. A big thank you to Peggy Race and Mike Motz. This book needs to be in every Library and on every night stand. I am ordering more and want to do my part to get puppy mills eradicated!"
