Product Description

Shirley MacLaine has found a perfect love in the furry bundle of irresistible canine charms that is Terry. With her winning terrier ways and an endless wellspring of love with no strings attached, Terry has succeeded in doing what no one before her ever has: slowing Shirley's peripatetic travels, shifting the actress/author's global axis to hearth and home. Now there are few greater pleasures for Shirley than being with Terry on her ranch or on a New York street, romping on the beach together, or sharing a long plane ride to a new location for making a film. With Terry by her side, Shirley sees the world in new ways she never thought possible. As we join Shirley and Terry we see through their eyes how they each provide a window for exploring the nature of love. Together they seek to understand world events today: Are we beginning to fulfill the ancient biblical prophecies? Is Armageddon looming? And of course there is Terry as a constant gateway to spirit, to being fully in each moment, to that boundless love that surpasses all understanding. In a unique twist that makes this book such a delight, we see Terry's point of view on Shirley's domestic and inner life, as the terrier's mistress continually questions the deeper nature of reality.

It may take getting used to!
This is an unusual book - but then Shirley (thankfully) not a "usual" sort of person, and we benefit from that by reading her unique viewpoint on our world and it's issues.

This book is written from the viewpoint of her very-loved dog, and contains some profound truths and a lot for us to think about, not least that animals are knowing, intelligent creatures in their own right, and a valuable part of our learning and lives. You may give up meat, if you read this book! I first read it years ago - and though I finished it(and was interested) I hadn't reached the stage yet where it really grabbed me. Now, going through a "MacLaine" stage when most of her stuff is difficult to get, I'm getting it again.

It doesn't cost much, now - so what excuse have you for not giving it a try?
