Description

14 Dogs & Me-One Woman's Story of Never Saying No is a memoir of the sixty years Mary Roberts spent with the rescue dogs that drove her crazy, wrecked her house and her car, sabotaged all romantic relationships, depleted her savings, and brought joy and meaning to her life. This is a loving tribute and an unvarnished deep dive into the chaos and turmoil that can come with never saying no to adding another dog to the pack. It's also an unsparingly personal recollection of the author's relationship with the dogs who allowed her a reprieve from a difficult childhood, a stutter and both their consequences. Dogs awaken the tender heart in us, keeping it open and vulnerable to the pain and heartbreak of having them in our lives. They also make us happy. What are we to do? This book is a funny, heartbreaking, silly, and marginally instructive love letter to all the dogs we have loved and have loved us back. And all the dogs to come. Find out how the author survived the lunacy and grief that came with loving the fourteen dogs who in the end, made her a better human.

Author Biography:

Mary Roberts is a writer, storyteller, real estate agent, and serial dog rescuer. As the owner of Side Porch Stories, she helps people unpack their personal narratives and craft them into compelling stories to tell on stage, or to family and friends. 14 Dogs and Me--One Woman's Story of Never Saying No is her first book which she published at 71 years-old. Never give up is her motto and she plows ahead, regardless of her ignorance of social media, and her frustration with everyone who thinks their way is the best way to self-publish. Her journey with these 14 dogs began when was just a kid and discovered that she didn't stutter when she talked to the family dog. After that, there was no stopping her relentless and sometimes clueless attempt to build a canine family that didn't judge her. Along the way, she found her voice and got on stage to tell her personal stories and began writing after a 40-year hiatus.Now she is aiming to start a publishing cooperative for women over 50 who have something to say but need guidance, a lot of laughs, and a way through the wilderness of self-publishing. Interested? Holler at her.
