“Evocative, heartfelt, and tenderly told… Bellringer captures the raw beauty of solitude, loyalty, and love in this moving tale. Set against the rugged backdrop of the rolling countryside, the story follows Jayden King, a hardworking farmer whose world changes after he finds a stray dog caught in a fence. A single act of compassion binds man and dog in lasting friendship. Together, they build a life of meaning and purpose. But a looming danger threatens to tear it all apart. Bellringer writes with a quiet grace that draws readers in. Rather than relying on flourish or high drama, she lets emotion rise naturally through simple, sincere moments. The dialogue feels real, the pacing unhurried, and the feelings genuine. Her empathy shines through—not only for her characters but also for the land they inhabit, the creatures that share it, and the small acts of care that make life meaningful. At its heart, this is a story about faith, endurance, and friendship, a reminder that love, whether human or canine, has the power to heal what grief has broken. Libraries seeking heartfelt, animal-centered stories will find this a worthy addition to their collections.” – Prairies Book Review, 2025 

“A farmer finds solace and purpose through the steadfast love of a dog in Bellringer’s quietly affecting novella. When Jayden King discovers a wounded stray tangled in a fence, he has no idea that rescuing the dog will rescue him, too. Life on his rural farm has long been quiet and solitary until Moss arrives. Together they weather dawns and downpours, and their bond deepens. Then comes the neighbour, all sharp words and mistrust. Accused of killing sheep, Moss becomes the center of a storm that threatens to undo them both. Bellringer captures farm life with quiet authenticity: she balances the stark isolation of rural life with its understated beauty. Jayden’s memories of his parents as well as his solitary life add to the story’s emotional pull, and his gradual transformation (from grief-stricken loner to someone reawakened by companionship) unfolds with quiet power. The reconciliation between Jayden and Joseph adds a layer of redemption and humanity to the story. Graceful in its simplicity, this is a story rich in heart and humanity—a reminder that even the smallest acts of devotion can give shape to meaning, and that the bond between man and dog is among life’s most enduring hopes. Readers seeking a quietly powerful story about courage, trust, and the restorative bond between human and animal won’t want to miss this one.” – BookView Review, 2025
