A true story of acceptance, perseverance, and the possibility of
love and redemption as evocative, charming, and powerful as the New
York Times bestseller Following Atticus. From the author of
Following Atticus, an international bestseller that has inspired
hundreds of thousands of people around the world, comes the moving
true story of a despondent and broken old dog and the man who gave
him a second chance. Drawn by a fateful online post, Tom Ryan, with
the help of his canine hiking partner, Atticus M. Finch, adopts
Will, an elderly, deaf, and nearly blind soul. Long neglected and
filled with anger and pain, Will finds himself in a curious world
unlike any he has ever known. Tom hopes to give Will a place to die
with dignity surrounded by the natural beauty of the White
Mountains of his New Hampshire home. But when he witnesses Will's
fear and lack of trust, Tom realizes that his task entails so much
more. With endless patience and the same meditative empathy Tom has
nurtured in his relationship with Atticus, Will eventually begins
to thrive. Soon, an angry, hurt, depressed, and near-death Will has
transformed into a happy, frolicking fellow with a puppy-like zest
for discovery, inspiring hundreds of thousands of people with his
courage, resilience, and renewed heart. Will lived for two more
years - to the ripe old age of 17 - and helped Tom understand a
great deal about aging, how to live a full life and make the best
of our days. Will's Red Coat is a real-life fairy tale of promises
kept and a life-changing, inviolable bond between friends.
Heartbreaking, uplifting, and ultimately unforgettable, it honours
the possibility held in all of us, at any stage of life.
