Publisher's Synopsis
In Martha Townley's uplifting saga, The Least of These, readers will find an instant companion in the gentle German shepherd named Jetta. Residing on the idyllic farm of Jeb and Nora Livingston, a couple who fosters neglected and abused Brittany Spaniels, Jetta is an integral part of the daily triumphs and losses that are inevitable in the world of animal rehabilitation. She acts as friend for those who have not yet encountered one and helps foster trust in the most unlikely of creatures.
Writing with expert precision and finesse, Martha Townley presents unforgettable characters such as Luke, a feisty and suspicious spaniel forced to live in a small cage for years, and Hope, a spaniel who was shot by her owner and whose progress is put in jeopardy by the return of the abusive man.
In a dramatic showdown, Jetta must ultimately prove just how far she is willing to go in order to keep her family and friends safe. An emotional tale of redemption among shelter dogs, The Least of These acts as the voice for all those creatures who do not have one, yet love their human companions more fiercely than words could ever express.
