Since that saddest day when Cora, his beloved wife of fifty-seven good years, died, no one knows how he will survive. How can this elderly man live alone on his farm? How can he keep driving his dilapidated truck down to the fields to care for his few rows of pecan trees? And when Sam begins telling his children about a dog as white as the pure driven snow -- that seems invisible to everyone but him -- his children think that grief and old age have finally taken their toll. <br> But whether the dog is real or not, Sam Peek -- one of the smartest men in the South when it comes to trees -- outsmarts them all. Sam and the White Dog will dance from the pages of this bittersweet novel and into your heart, as they share the mystery of life, and begin together a warm and moving final rite of passage. <br> Winner of the Southeastern Library Association's Outstanding Author Award.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>To Dance with the White Dog</i> is what literature is -- or should be -- all about....Kay is simply a miraculous writer....This book...burns with life.--Anne Rivers Siddons<br><br>A hauntingly beautiful story about love, family, and relationships--The Most Reverend Desmond M.
