sit! stay! speak! by Annie England Noblin

sit! stay! speak! by Annie England Noblin - 457 pages

Who says nothing happens in small towns…?

Tragedy sent Addie Andrews fleeing from Chicago to the shelter of an unexpected inheritance—her beloved aunt's somewhat dilapidated home in Eunice, Arkansas, population very tiny. There she reconnects with some of her most cherished childhood memories. If only they didn't make her feel so much!

People say nothing happens in small towns, but Addie quickly learns better. She's got an elderly next-door neighbor who perplexingly dances outside in his underwear, a house needing more work than she has money, a best friend whose son uncannily predicts the weather, and a local drug dealer holding a massive grudge against her.

Most surprising of all, she's got a dog. Not just any dog, but a bedraggled puppy she discovered abandoned, lost, and in desperate need of love. Kind of like Addie herself. She'd come to Eunice hoping to hide from the world, but soon she discovers that perhaps she's finding her way back—to living, laughing, and loving once more.

Moving, again, is something Cameron must endure.  He and his mother are fleeing from an abusive husband. This time, they have moved into a farmhouse in a small country community. From the first walk-thru of the house and meeting with the home's owner, things don't seem right for Cameron. Is he just imagining the boy he sees or is it a ghost? The bully who teases him about "the dogs", leads Cameron to do some investigating about his new home.
The author and Cameron share a common thread of domestic abuse and a vivid imagination.
