{"product_id":"the-speed-of-souls-a-novel","title":"The Speed of Souls: A Novel","description":"The Speed of Souls is the heart-warming, often hilarious, often outrageous, journey of Hugo (a dog who dies and comes back as a cat), Cassie (an aging rescue dog coming to terms with her own mortality), and Jerry (a once popular sci-fi writer in the midst of a cataclysmic mid-life crisis).\n\nHugo was a dog. He died. Now he's a kitten. As Hugo adjusts to his new body (not just a cat—a baby cat!), his new home (San Francisco), his new outside (Where are the mountains? Where is the lake?), and his sudden urge to sit in every box he sees, he wonders if he'll ever see Cassie or Jerry again.\n\nBack in Lake Tahoe, Cassie and Jerry attempt to come to grips with life without Hugo. Cassie fills the void with \"Tadpole Guard\", \"Worm Patrol\", and ups her protection of Jerry (her human), who is in the midst of a cataclysmic midlife crisis. In addition to his dog dying, Jerry's last two books have been monumental flops and he's still reeling from his fiancée leaving him for another man. As if these problems aren't enough, his parents (who have become late-stage hippies) are coming to live with him for the entire summer.\n\nAnd so begins the journey of three souls, intertwined by love, loss, and perhaps something even greater. Told with Nick Pirog's charm and razor sharp wit, The Speed of Souls is at once a hilarious, moving, and transcendent work of storytelling.\n\nWhat readers are saying:\n\n \"Wonderful!\" -Amy\n \"Amazing!\" -TracyJ\n \"Another masterpiece!\" -B\u0026amp;N Customer\n \"A book to lift the spirits!\" -Kami Hall\n \"Unputdownable!\" -Amazon Customer\n \"A fantastic story!\" -Jill Schragden\n \"One to remember!\" -Amazon Customer\n \"Heartswelling story!\" -JoAnne S.\n \"Another must read!\" -Connie K\n \"A feel good read!\" -Bonita Russell\n \"Loved this book!\" -Incensed\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1983306053\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1983306053.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pirog, Nick\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
