DOG WATER FREE, A Memoir: A coming-of-age story about an improbable journey to find emotional truth

By Michael Jay

"When a loving young mom
whispers a deathbed secret
about a promise of the universe
it lands a dumbstruck orphan
from the heart of Detroit's Westside
front and center before icons of culture
who have shaped the mindsets of nations."
- Author Michael Jay

Dog Water Free chronicles the resilience of a mom named Marge, whose focus and clarity are driven as much by her faith as by abject circumstance, and whose guidance to her young son Mikee is crucial in the wake of a maelstrom of fateful events.

Recognized as a Distinguished Favorite by the NYC Big Book Award Committee and honored with an Indie BRAG Medallion for Nonfiction, this full-hearted memoir has the engaging quality of a "truth is stranger than fiction" adventure.

Readers who appreciate "The Glass Castle", "Angela's Ashes" and "Tuesdays with Morrie" will find this story particularly resonant.

At its core, this is an inspirational family saga that portrays an orphan's search for emotional clarity that is grounded by the profound love of an extraordinary mom.

For readers interested in a true story about faith and the power of prayer, "Dog Water Free" delivers.
