“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.

When hope arrives unexpectedly in the form of a tiny Cockapoo puppy named Rosie, the Darleys are reminded that love doesn’t always come when you expect it – it comes when you need it most. This beautifully illustrated picture book gently guides young readers and families through the emotions of grief, healing, and the joy of adoption, not just of pets, but of hearts opening once again.

From her first wobbly steps into the Darley home to her peaceful sleep in a kennel filled with love, Rosie’s journey is one of warmth, wonder, and quiet magic.
