Charlie: A Love Story

Charlie: A Love Story

*A Top-10 Bestseller in 2012 at "Diesel, A Bookstore" in Malibu!
*One of Conversations Book Club's Top Books for 2012!

Charlie:Â A Love Story tells of the beautiful love between Charlie, a GoldenÂ Retriever, and the author, Barbara Lampert. It takes place in Malibu,Â California. When Charlie turned eleven years old and started having someÂ health problems, a journal Barbara was keeping about her garden quicklyÂ became mostly about Charlie.

"Charlie'sÂ a big dog, not just physically but in every way.
He has a big heart, aÂ big smile, lots of courage, a big appetite,
and a great, big,Â generousÂ spirit..."

Because it emergedÂ out of Barbara's gardening journal, Charlie's story developed against aÂ background of her gardening activities and images of her extensiveÂ cottage garden. And because it is in journal form, Charlie: A LoveÂ Story is told while it is happening and is mostly uncensored, providingÂ an intimate look at the bond between Charlie and Barbara, an incredibleÂ connection between a canine and a human. And as a psychotherapist whoÂ specializes in relationships, Barbara brings that sensibility andÂ understanding to Charlie's story as well.

"Charlie's the emotional core of our family, the most solid beingÂ I have ever known, andÂ wise beyond his years..."

CharlieÂ was Barbara's loyal confidante and best friend. He was indomitable, hadÂ a zest for life and an uncanny emotional intelligence. Charlie:Â A Love Story is about devotion, joy, loss, and renewal, about neverÂ giving up or giving in. But mostly it's about an extraordinary dog andÂ an extraordinary relationship.

"Charlie and me. It's aÂ great love affair, a once-in-a-lifetime connection."
