Author: Ann Gorewitz

You, Me, & the Dog is a beguiling love story between two complicated New York natives and the enchanting creature that served as their precious surrogate child—and ultimate comfort when unimaginably provocative and devastating circumstances rocked the idyllic world they built. Theirs is a love that palpitates on the page. Set mostly against the magnificent backdrop of an electric Manhattan proper, the other boroughs, and storied Woodstock, this is Ann Gorewitz’s intimately raw story of finding her way back to hope, herself, and into another unexpected love story.” —Tamara Salem Moore, author of Hey Rock Star

 

“Ann Gorewitz gives us two intertwined love stories, both heartbreaking and heartwarming, reminding us that true love endures and that a dog can be our best support system. You, Me, & The Dog is a tribute to love, to resilience, and to dogs.” —Teresa J. Rhyne, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Dog Lived (and So Will I) and Poppy In The Wild

“Ann beautifully captures the joy and complexities of sharing our lives with the people and pets we cherish. A heartfelt celebration of companionship in all forms.” —Mark Jason Williams, author of Out in the World

 

“A story of resilience, caregiving, and never giving up hope.” —Irvin Sam Shonfeld, author of Breaking Point: Job Stress

 

“With unstinting tenderness and honesty, Ann Gorewitz invites you inside an interspecies family navigating dire illness, following the North Star of love. If a dog has ever lifted your heart, you’ll meet yourself in her story.” —Rona Maynard, author of Started Dog

 

“Witty, engaging, heartbreaking and hopeful, You, Me, & the Dog reminded me that a love affair with staying power requires equal parts chemistry, commitment, and stroking behind the ears. If you’ve ever adored a pet or taken a romantic leap you’ll chuckle with recognition through your tears. If you’re not a dog person, you won’t know what you’ve been missing until you read this book.”
—Jan Alexander, author of Ms. Ming’s Guide to Civilization and Getting to Lamma

 

“This book is filled with deep emotion, laughter, and heartbreak, but most importantly, it’s a guide for how to navigate life’s most difficult moments. Share it with those you hold closest to your heart!” —Hilari T. Cohen, author of The Wick and The Flame and Question Everything
