From New York Times bestselling author Susan Wilson comes What a
Dog Knows, another heartwarming novel about humans and the dogs that
change our lives.
Ruby Heartwood has always lived a life on the move. As a traveling
psychic, she makes her living working at carnivals and festivals and
circuses around New England. It's a life Ruby has made peace
with--settling in one place has never been for her. She needs no one,
and no one needs her.
Until one night, when she is camped by the side of the road in her
trusty Volkswagon Westie van, a fierce thunder and lightning storm
erupts. In the middle of the downpour, she hears a distinct voice
telling her to let me in. In jumps a little black and white dog, and to
Ruby's astonishment, she can hear the dog's thoughts. Has she been
struck by lightning? Did the storm do this? Is she losing her mind?
It turns out, Ruby can hear many dogs' thoughts. She decides to set up
semi-permanent residency in the town of Harmony Farms, until she can
sort out what is going on, and who the little dog, Hitch, belongs to.
But some people in Harmony Farms don't want her there. And it seems that
events keep preventing Ruby from leaving. What secrets is this town
keeping? Why was she meant to find this dog? And what has Ruby really
been running from, all these years?
