About the book
Summer has brought more visitors to Slipway Gallery, and Amanda Tomlin is finding time for her own painting alongside the framing jobs, accounts and daily walks with Jim. Then local plumber Shaun Dobbins stops before a picture of a dog tucked beneath heavy blankets.
Shaun and his daughter Lori are still missing Lyn, their much-loved lurcher. Lori now has a home and a busy working life of her own, while Shaun finds the familiar routines harder to let go. The painting seems to offer a little comfort—until a blue ball appears where there was none before.
Amanda has seen Virginia Jenkins’s paintings change, but she cannot explain what they mean or tell their owners what to do. As Shaun returns to memories he has carefully kept, Amanda must consider how much help she can offer while continuing to make a life of her own.
The fourth book in The Gallery of Unfinished Goodbyes brings quiet magic to a warm story of a much-loved dog, an adult daughter and the changing shape of family.
