Walking in Circles Before Lying Down

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has: divorced parents--a filandering father, a negligent, self-centered mother; a sister who spends all her time glibly telling others how to fix their lives and is totally clueless about her own self-created disasters; or who ever felt that life is spiraling out of control while remaining disconnected from her own voice/will/needs will love this book. The main character turns to the voice of her pit bull and takes his advice on love and life with funny and unexpected results. It is hilarious to hear the dog's thoughts as well as all the dogs in her life as they comment on the people who care for them or neglect them. I can't look at my dogs the same since reading this book. I've passed it to several of my friends for a quick fun read and they all love it. Yes, even the men (they especially get the dogs' comments about sex, food, compansionship, etc.). It is a book about finding your voice and direction in life in the midst of chaos.
