A memoir about getting a first puppy, turning forty and
transforming a son and mother's complicated relationship. On the
eve of the millenium, the life of therapist and best-selling
self-help author Andrew Marshall was in a dark place. The
counselling that he recommended to everybody else had not shifted
the grief from the death of his much-loved partner - despite trying
three different therapists. His career as journalist had reached a
dead end. He was struggling with low-level depression and his
polite but distant relationship with his mother had left them both
tip-toeing round each other. His Solution? To get Flash, a collie
cross puppy - perhaps not the best choice for someone who'd never
owned a dog, or even lived with one, before. In this funny and
moving memoir, Marshall chronicles not only the ups and downs of
training an excitable puppy but how Flash brings back his childhood
fear of wolves and the unresolved issues with his parents. Slowly
but surely, by looking though Flash's eyes, Marshall starts to
laugh again, fall in love with the Sussex countryside and heal old
wounds with his mother. At the climax of Flash's puppy years, he
gives him enough confidence to take a real-life wolf for a walk.
And in the final section of Marshall's diary, Flash still has one
last lesson to teach him.
