Jessie is very much alone. She’s without friends in a new town and new school. She’s bullied. She’s misunderstood. She has only her daydreams and the fantasy novels of her favorite writer to help her cope with a life of fear and sadness. And then one day, fantasy becomes reality. Or does it? What does it all mean? Jessie’s journey will change everything – including a lost soul she’ll encounter in the heart of a dark forest.

Walks with Strays

Walks with Strays reveals the quiet, transformative power of animals — and the healing they so often inspire in us.
Join Kim on a soulful journey where furry companions become mirrors for the love, trust, and wholeness we’re seeking within.

Though she adored animals as a child, adulthood brought a guarded heart. Kim hesitated to welcome pets into her home, knowing just how deeply she loved — and how deeply she could hurt. But one animal at a time, her heart softened. And then came Zelda — a wild-spirited rescue dog who would change everything.

Through moments of laughter, heartbreak, and deep connection, Kim shares the unfolding of a bond that taught her about vulnerability, presence, and the beauty of opening to love again. This is more than a story about animals — it’s a testament to the healing that finds us when we’re finally ready to let it in.
