Dreaming in Libro: How a Good Dog Tamed a Bad Woman

"Bark If You Love Me was a smart, witty, and observant portrait of a hard-boiled city woman and her soft-boiled city dog. Dreaming in Libro delivers more of the same, but we also start to see the soft-boiled side of Ms. Bernikow. Some people still believe that a woman without a man (or child) is lacking somehow, that her life is incomplete. But those of us with dogs know this is not true. Life with a dog is complete, because the dog makes it so. Bernikow know this, Bernikow lived this. More people might understand if they read such books."
Lee Harrington, BARK

"Should appeal to a similar readership (as MARLEY AND ME)–the millions who love dogs and share their homes with them.” LIBRARY JOURNAL

"Finally he helped the author and other shell-shocked survivors of 9/11 by becoming a therapy dog. Will touch the heart.” BOOKLIST
