Perfect Imperfections

Isle of Dogs Publishing, specializing in young adult literature, is currently showcasing Perfect Imperfections, the new title by Connie Rae Strain, a book in which a spunky paint horse teaches lessons of coping and healing to a girl whose life has been turned upside down through divorce. Horses, humor, and scenic beauty abound in this coming-of age story set in the Pacific Northwest.

Publisher's note to parents and teachers:

Divorce is a compelling topic for children and teens. It's tragic that nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. Untold numbers of children mourn the death of their families with grief and anger. Perfect Imperfections is about coping, healing, and the acceptance of life's imperfections. Children and young adults—especially those struggling with fragmented families, extended families, and step-relationships—will benefit from the universal truths in this inspirational and heartwarming story.
