Book two brings us pretty much up to date with a new house that's well, 333 years old? There's problems ahead here too - and I loved how honest Lee was with the realities faced with a full renovation on their hands along with new animals and their needs. 

Allison Lee has shared her journey in both of these books with a frankness that is to be admired. I felt her joys and her sorrows. Admired her strengths and weaknesses too as she and her husband navigate the life they want when so much is thrust against them. I have a feeling book three will be the same testament to the strength of their love, commitment and desire to see their beloved animals safe.

I just hope not to cry as much as I did on the third chapter, as that pain is one which is hard to recover from.
