Grab a copy at your favorite store or library and read at your own pace. Then, be our guest for coffee, pastries, and a lively discussion of favorite passages and themes.

For this inaugural meeting, we're thrilled to welcome bestselling author W. Bruce Cameron as we discuss his charming and heartfelt new novel, My Three Dogs (Forge Books, 2024). The discussion will be led by another bestselling author, Cathryn Michon (I'm Still Here: A Dog's Purpose Forever).

About the book:

My Three Dogs is a charming and heartfelt new novel from the #1 bestselling author of A Dog's Purpose, about humankind's best, most loyal friends, and a wonderful adventure of love and finding home.

When a tragic accident separates three dogs from their human, they find themselves up for adoption -- separately. But Riggs, a dedicated, loyal Australian Shepherd, refuses to see his family torn apart. After the exuberant and fun-loving doodle Archie and quick-witted Jack Russell Luna are taken to new homes, Riggs' powerful herding instincts send him on a journey to bring his pack back together again.

Cameron's signature style shines in this whirlwind of a novel that showcases how determination, instinct, and love can make a family whole once more.
