Finnegan's Tails: The Journey with My New Family - Paperback

Finnegans Tails: The Journey with My New Family is a richly imagined, lyrical adventure about belonging, found family, and the quiet courage it takes to choose kindness in a complicated world.

Finnegan is a small Jack Russell terrier mix with quick paws, sharp senses, and a past marked by abandonment. Once surviving alone on rainy streets, he discovers a second chance when he follows a gentle farmer home. There, he is welcomed into a household ruled by two miniature Schnauzer brothers: Murphy, disciplined and protective; and O'Malley, clever and playful. What begins as shelter becomes something deeper: family.

Life on the farm introduces safety and trust-but also awakens questions. When a mysterious map is uncovered beneath an old oak tree, the dogs are drawn into a wider world. Their journey leads them through forests and rivers, encountering allies and rivals: Old Tom, a sharp-tongued cat; Shadow, a silver wolf; Athena, a watchful owl; and Rex, a powerful rival pack leader.

As the adventure unfolds, the "ledger" they uncover is not a record of riches, but of responsibility-protecting others and restoring balance. Courage is measured not by dominance, but by restraint.

With the arrival of Lark, an orphaned pup, Finnegan's journey comes full circle-from rescued to rescuer.

This is a story about finding home-and learning how to keep it.
