An unforgettable debut novel about finding a home, a safe haven, and familyDeep in Oregon farm country, Edith and Earl McRae are looking down the barrel of their fiftieth anniversary with none of the joy such a milestone should hold. Instead, they are stuck in a past that holds them to heartbreak and tragedy. Enter the mysterious and ever-so-slightly magical Mara O'Shaunessey who appears on their ranch with the power to mend long broken fences and show them how to recognize the enchantment of their everyday lives. Gracefully capturing the strange alchemy of people and places, Kaya McLaren's story of redemption and rediscovery will inspire readers to find the magic and power in every day shared with the people they love.
With prose as clear and pure as mountain water, Kaya McLaren has written a testament to the plain sense of things. CHURCH OF THE DOG is spiritual, even a little magical, but it's also incredibly practical. McLaren has a glorious way of finding beauty in the bigger picture. A lovely, uplifting book. (Sarah Addison Allen, author of Garden Spells and The Sugar Queen)

Church of the Dog
I LOVED this book!! The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is the ending. I'm not crazy about the ending. It seemed a little rushed and awkward to me. But the whole rest of the book was amazing.
Very easy to read. The author switches between four different perspectives in short sections. I never found myself questioning which character was speaking because they each has such distinct ways of speaking.
I read a lot of books and this is one that truly stands out to me. I want to pass it on and share it with all the people close to me. Especially those who have lost loved ones. The way the author writes of heaven and being able to visit her loved ones in her dreams is beautiful. It is that rare book that is extremely spiritual without ever being preachy. I loved the parts about animals and how the author communicated her reverence for all life.
