In Abbey's Hands
As Abby scratches and pats Opal's tummy, she feels the new pups waiting to be born.
Abby and her yellow lab, Opal, love to inhabit their own small world beneath the lace tablecloth that Abby's grandmother crocheted. As Abby scratches and pats Opal's tummy, she feels the new pups waiting to be born.
When Grandpa Jack must go to the hospital with Abby's mother because he's hurt his leg, Abby is left to look after Opal. When the dog goes into labor, Abby must find the courage to help. There is simply no other choice.
In Abby's Hands is a gentle story about the resourcefulness of a young girl who believes she is incapable, but who discovers her own grace when the moment demands it.
