Ilustration Supposing Books To Dance with the White Dog

TO DANCE WITH THE WHITE DOG by Terry Kay is one of those books that I know I'll continue to read every few years for the rest of my life. All that he can fit into less than two hundred pages leaves me and every other reader of this book breathless and crying a mix of tears from joy and sadness. TO DANCE WITH THE WHITE DOG primarily concerns itself with an elderly man, Sam Peek, who is a man in his early eighties that has recently suffered the loss of his wife of fifty-seven years, Cora. Once a strong man in his prime he is now reduced to having his nagging children try to accomplish all his task for him. Alone and bothered by his children Sam finds White Dog and takes the reader on a beautiful, magical journey into the heart of a man who knows his time on earth is ending. I'm twenty-five as of the writing of this review and I've read this book three times, all in my twenties. As I said previously I know this is one I'll continue to read every couple of years for the rest of my life. The journey of Sam Peek, his children, White Dog, and the corner of North-East Georgia they call home is timeless and quality for the soul. Terry Kay was already a master craftsman before TO DANCE WITH THE WHITE DOG. With this book, however, he cemented himself firmly in the place of great southern writers. Pat Conroy could only hope to write a novel that contained as much meat in so few pages.

Crit Appertaining To Books To Dance with the White Dog

Such a beautiful, sweetly sad book. I'm so glad I read it.

A very sweet story. An elderly man named Sam has just lost his wife of 57 years. He lives near his grown children. Soon after his wife died he sees a white dog hanging around the property. he tries to tell his kids of the white dog but no one sees the dog but Sam. the dog slowly comes around for only Sam to see and they eventually become pals. The dog even "dances' with Sam when he is on his walker. Since Sam is alone and his kids consider him in need of their care they are around checking in on

Review by Patrick:To be honest, I only read this book based off of my wife's suggestion. I wouldn't have picked out this book to read by myself, but I trusted her judgement and put this on my list. I read it, but it just wasn't my thing.It started off down right depressing. I mean Sam's long loved wife had just died. Then it continues telling the story of this old man as he lives without her companionship.The story did have a ring of truth to it. It felt like this was a real story. I could see

The whole dog/wife concept was a bit odd, but I still liked this book a lot. I thought it was interesting that the story was based on true happenings in the author's father's life. And I especially liked the interplay between the family members. I like that these books chosen for my church book club are ones that stretch my book choices and make me think about different things and situations. I hope that I am the type of old person that my family cares for and about, like the children in this

Quite simply, this is one of my favorite novels of all time, and one that I've reread at least a dozen times. It tells the story of an elderly widower, who's befriended by a dog that no one else ever sees, a dog that helps him through his loneliness. Warm and touching, it's a novel that people of all ages can enjoy.

A lovely little tale about growing older and recovering after loss. An old man, now alone after the death of his beloved wife, adjusts to his life. And during this time, he is befriended by a white dog, that at first, no one else can see. But he and the dog develop a wonderful understanding, and the old man doesn't let a little thing like age stop him from living. The discussions that the old man's daughters had while worrying about him in a widowed state made me smile, for kids never seem to

I loved this sweet story of adult children caring for their recently widowed father. most likely because Im in the midst of this myself and the humor in the story is good for the soul! Sweet, charming, beautiful relationships. I especially enjoyed the stubborn hard headed father and his reply to his over protective daughter after she tries to make him promise not to take such risks in everyday life Well I guess youre going to have to worry. I know what I can do and what I cant. If you want to
