About the Book
The Darleys: Rosie Finds a Home
“A home isn’t just a place… it’s where hearts belong.”
Sometimes, healing comes in the softest footsteps and sometimes, those footsteps have paws. In The Darleys: Rosie Finds a Home, we meet a family still grieving the loss of their beloved dog, Rusty- a loyal companion who was more than just a pet; he was part of the family. Two years have passed, but the silence left behind is still loud.

Why They Love Rosie Finds a Home!
Rosie’s story reminded me that love doesn’t always come when you expect it, sometimes it comes in the tiniest paws and the biggest hugs. Our family read this together after losing our own dog last year, and it brought healing to all of us.
Emma Robert
This isn’t just a pet adoption story, it’s a story about how hearts heal. My daughter asked to read it every night for a week. I cried. She smiled. And we both felt better.
David Tyler
As someone who works at an animal shelter, I see stories like Rosie’s every day. This book captures the magic of second chances for pets and people alike.
Carol Watson
I adopted my son two years ago, and reading Rosie Finds a Home helped us talk about what it means to belong. The illustrations are beautiful, but the message? That’s priceless.

About the 2nd Book
The Darleys: Rosie Takes a Road Trip
“A tiny tail with a big heart on a road full of surprises”
Following the touching journey of The Darleys: Rosie Finds a Home, this second book in the series continues Rosie’s story, no longer the uncertain puppy she once was, but now a joyful, beloved member of the Darley family.
In Rosie Takes a Road Trip, the Darleys set off on a family adventure to Pensacola, and Rosie is along for every mile. What begins as a simple getaway soon becomes a journey of firsts: her first road trip, her first time on a leash, and her first encounter with new puppy cousins. Through it all, Rosie discovers that life is full of wonder and that love and friendship often bloom in the most unexpected places.
