By Sheri Smith

Book Overview

An unforgettable memoir about family, estrangement, mental illness, and the fierce resilience it takes to rebuild a life from the ashes.

From Broadway and the iconic M&M commercial at age seven to losing everything in 2014, Sheri Smith's journey is marked by betrayal, grief, caregiving, and reinvention. At the center is Ray, her heart dog - a loyal German Shepherd whose presence steadies her through chaos.

Starting over at sixty

And the soul-level bond between woman and dog
