Almost Perfect, by Diane Daniels Manning, is a touching, heart-breaking and then mending book. The two main human characters are obviously flawed. Bess is a grumpy lady whose award-winning kennel is being destroyed before she has won her most sought-after goal....winning at Westminster Dog Show. She becomes depressed and feels worthless.Benny is an autistic boy that wants to please his mother but can only focus on food. He lacks motivation to do anything else.
Through a series of events the dogs that Bess raised are able to help Ben. The process is touching as each are able to break through to the other through these wonderful Umpawaug poodles.
Such a wonderful book that the reader cannot help but come away a changed person. Do not let the soft cuddly dog on the cover fool you, this book will reach you in ways that are totally unexpected.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
