Congratulations on the publishing of this book! Your “Help me celebrate” e-mail was just forwarded to me. I want to say I am thrilled for you. It is always exciting when Great Falls residents see their dreams to fruition. I hope to attend your book signing, along with my children (9 & 12) who are sure to be touched by Gracies’ story – we will be reading this one together. Thank you for the hard work you put into this and again, congratulations!

Good Morning, Carol.
I have learned of “Saving Gracie” from a fellow Board Member’s wife, Amy Duhley who adopted Crickett.
My husband and I served as fund-raisers and on the BOD of Chester County S.P.C.A for 26 years before his death and my move to Charlotte, NC. We lived in Oxford, PA and were not aware of the puppy mill just miles away until the shelter became involved. I will never forget seeing the 15, I believe it was, State Police cars respond when they received the call, ‘officer down’ rolling down the road to the kennel.
I adopted a black and tan KCS I named Fiona from the rescue.
I was present during the rescue and during court as we fought to win the animals and give them freedom for a new life.
I still remember the smell that lingered in my nostrils and on my tongue three days after our February removal of all those animals. They breathed that (and worse) their entire lives before rescue.
‘Miss Fiona’ lives with a chocolate lab and a black and while chihuahua.
Thank you for your work on behalf of animals.
I would like to purchase a signed copy of the book. Can you assist?
If so, I will send my mailing address.
Thank you,
Beverly Dickerson
Hi Beverly,
Good to hear from you. I’m happy to sign a copy. Email me at carol@carolbradley.com and we can talk details.
Thanks!
I wanted to tell you how much I loved your book but couldn’t get through the capta challenges. I love your writing style and felt you did a wonderful job of informing readers of puppy mills. May they all be gone some day.
