Dear Friends and Family, I’m so excited to share this special story with you! My new book, Shayla & Friends (Second Edition), is a heartfelt and inspiring journey that beautifully captures resilience, love, and the power of connection. Book Highlights: Shayla isn’t just any dog—she’s part shepherd, part wolfdog, and all heart. Raised at Father’s House, a Christian orphanage in Ukraine, Shayla knows what it means to experience both abandonment and rescue. Through it all, she discovers love, friendship, and hope—even after a difficult beginning. When Shayla is brought to America to join her forever family, her journey takes a new turn. As she navigates new surroundings, relationships, and even moments of uncertainty, one thing remains constant—a quiet, unwavering belief that she was meant for more. Inspired by a true story, Shayla & Friends is a moving account of adventure, courage, and the many ways love finds us—sometimes through rescue, sometimes through the people who help us feel at home again. This powerful story reminds us that no matter where we begin, healing and purpose are always possible. It’s especially meaningful for readers who love stories of rescue, faith, and transformation—and a beautiful reminder that sometimes the greatest rescue happens within our own hearts. I would love your support in helping share this message of hope and love with others. If you’d like to be part of the journey, I invite you to join the launch team! As a Launch Team member, you’ll receive: Early access to the book before its official release Exclusive behind-the-scenes updates and content Opportunities to win special giveaways and prizes Meaningful ways to help share this inspiring story with others.
