He never came home, and only Bimba knows he\u2019s missing. She doesn\u2019t know what happened, but she has to find him. Yet how is a small dog with no bark going to tell anyone he\u2019s gone?<\/p>\n<p>This is a delightful story, told from several different points of view, including that of Bimba\u2014a small, golden-haired terrier who is devoted to her \u201choomans.\u201d In each chapter, we see unfolding events through the eyes of Bimba, JD, Mrs. B, or Meko, and can better understand their perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>Each character struggles with their own internal challenges, growing and changing as their stories intertwine. The common thread throughout is Bimba, with her near-tragedy, her dogged determination to heal, her adorable personality, and her resolve to find Ash. She never gives up, even though she grows to love the other hoomans who come to be part of her life. The adorable little terrier seems to sprinkle positive change on those around her, bringing people together in ways they would never have expected.<\/p>\n<p>With Foley\u2019s simple yet stirring writing style and the story\u2019s timeless messages, The Man With the Butterfly Mind could be easily enjoyed by younger readers or adults of all ages. An emotional tale, deeply meaningful and light in turns, its characters grabbed me from the start and carried me through their ups and downs. In the end, this heartfelt story left me feeling warm and hopeful. Definitely a good, upbeat, and encouraging read.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Fabian Foley Thorpe-Bowker, Publisher ISBN-13: 978-0645674637 Kindle version, file size 796 KB; \u00a9 2023 Paperback, 327 pages; \u00a9 2023 Where is Ash?
