This profound discovery of a beautiful family and a simple way of life takes place amidst the malfeasance and fear of the financial crisis of 2008 and a period of challenging midlife transition. The author would learn from his Dalmatian kin what matters -- family, love, and community -- and how to deal with adversity. The author is a noted travel writer whose work has been praised by the New York Times, Gourmet, and the Wine Advocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar \u0026 Boxwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49814293807344,"sku":"9781450765657","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450765657","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
