More than anything in the world, thirteen-year-old Caleb wants a hounddog. One spring, Caleb's father gives him the runt of a litter of pigs, and Caleb takes the pig to the local stock auction to trade for a hounddog puppy. Fast-talking Billy Flint is the only dog trader, and ignores Caleb and his pig through most of the auction. Caleb objects to the trader's mistreatment of an old, ragged part-Airedale mutt with a lame leg and quickly finds that he has traded his runt pig for the old dog. Caleb knows he has been "skinned alive" by the sharp trader, but from the minute the dog follows him to the wagon and jumps easily into the seat, Caleb knows that he wants this old dog more than any of the excellent hounddogs he has seen. He must first convince his mother to let him keep the dog, but Outcast wins a place in the family and he and Caleb become inseparable friends.

reviewed Useless Dog on October 20, 2009 Useless Dog
This book was not a joy to read. I felt with the title Absent Friends and the setting post 9-11 in NYC. It would be a story that focused on the aftermath of that day and how people picked up the pieces and moved on in their lives. Instead Jimmy a NYFD is killed in the towers and we flash back and forth between 2001 and 1979. It seems a childhood friend was killed and the one who did the shooting is in jail and tradegy happens again. We then spend over 300 pages trying to make sense of a muddled mess. Harry the reporter and his actions are not necesary. Many of the relationships seem disconnected and there is little to reflect on 9/11 in this book. I would of been happy if the ending if Jimmy just walked away from it all on that day and started a new life. That would of been a better story. I enjoy her series with Bill and Lydia and will keep reading these. Not sure if I will give In this Rain a try or not.
