Book Review: Welcome Home Mama & Boris

Had a chance to read for review a wonderful book from Reader's Digest Books

Welcome Home Mama & Boris: How a Sister's Love Saved a Fallen Soldier's Beloved Dogs
by Carey Neesley with Michael Levin

This story held me riveted from start to finish, despite obviously knowing how the story would end, because of the many people along the way who helped Carey realize her dream of bringing Mama and Boris to America in memory of and to honor her beloved brother,Peter.. And I cried along with Carey and her family over the loss of Peter, and cried again at their joy of seeing his dogs make it across the world, to bring their love and healing to Carey and her family.

Despite the sadness of Peter's death, this story is so filled with memories of love and with hope, that you can't help but be uplifted by the story.

I highly recommend this book! Thank you, Carey, and Michael Levin, for sharing this beautiful story, and to Reader's Digest books for making the book available.

Take a look at this video of Carey Neesley, Mama and Boris below:
