Meg is a troubled girl who has been shuffled from foster home to
foster home. She calls herself a reject. It makes her tough and
smart, but also hardens her heart and she begins running away no
matter where they place her. Granny Greer's shelter is her last
chance before going to lock up. Her court ordered community service
assignment is to help to care for the animals. That's where she
meets other rejects, the animals that no one wants. Using her
unusual gift, the ability to communicate with the animals, she
learns a terrible secret. When evil men find out that she is on to
them, she must run for her life. With the help of Lacey Blue, a
retired greyhound, Dusty, a retired race horse, a crazy cat who
thinks he's a pirate, and his longsuffering sister, she hides in
the desert trying to find her way back and planning a way to find a
forever home for all the rejects. Though she already knows too much
for her own good, she just needs to find one more key piece of
evidence, but time is running out and the men who want to silence
the rejects are closing in. Many animals will die if she fails to
stop them. One young teenaged girl and her lovable animals are
battling the odds with only her own determination, courage, and
kind heart to guide her. Lacey Blue and the Rejects is a
supernatural adventure about love and the true meaning of home that
explores the limits of human kindness and cruelty with many twists
and turns.
Lacey Blue, the greyhound, is so small, Mama calls her Little One.
What Lacey lacks in size, however, she more than makes up for with
her intelligence and heart. After a short but successful racing
career that ends dramatically, she begins a series of adventures
with various owners that will push her to the very limits. Along
the way, Lacey makes many friends and a few enemies. There are many
greyhounds, dogs, several retired thoroughbreds, and a cat or two
in this story. Both Lacey and her humans find love and danger in
this heartwarming fantasy/adventure/romance that will keep you on
the edge of your seat. If you love animals, adventure, or romance,
you'll love Lacey's story. From the fast paced action on the race
track where triumph and tragedy are just hundredths of a second
apart, to the couch where she spends her happy days snuggling with
her owners, Lacey lives a full life. When you have to earn your
supper by being fast and tough however, being the smallest dog at
the track is no joke. Lacey must rely on her own wits and strength
as well as the lessons she learned from Mama. When her racing
career ends, she finds that life is no easier and a whole new set
of challenges and obstacles must be met. No matter what life throws
at her, Lacey remembers Mama's words, "Always do your best..." Set
in the American Southwest, this story of love and adventure
demonstrates why dogs are considered man's best friend. Some of
Lacey's friends are her couch mates, Ranger and Smokey, two retired
racers. Some of her human friends are Ryan, the young trainer, Dr.
Maria, Lacey's vet, and Ali her sister. Ryan and Ali make a perfect
couple, but fate seems to keep them apart, despite the best efforts
of Dr. Maria, Ranger, and Smokey. While time is running out for
Ryan and Ali, Lacey finds, whether she is on the track or off it,
there is always a race to run as she tries to find her forever
home. During her adventures, Lacey and her four-legged friends face
the same dangers and experiences that dogs face in real life
including, greyhound racing, dog fighting, and hunting. Through it
all the intricate relationships between Lacey and her humans
reveals how well dogs understand us and how little we really know
about them.
