Von Kreisler, Kristin,

An unexpected grace / Kristin Von Kreisler. - 259 pages ; 21 cm.

Lila Elliot knows she's lucky. A shooting rampage at her office left several colleagues dead and others wounded. Lila's injuries will heal in time. Yet though she gratefully retreats to her best friend's house to recuperate, Lila can't move past her fear and anger. Being drafted into caring for Grace - a shaggy, formerly abused golden retriever - only adds to her stress. But Grace, like Lila, needs time and space to recover. Though struggling to make sense of her recent tragedy, Lila begins to see beauty in Grace's haunted eyes. And in helping Grace to trust, Lila is being gently nudged toward the courage she needs to do the same.--From back cover.
