The Wonder of Lost Causes

A Novel

By: Nick Trout

Narrated by: Christina Delaine

In this heartwarming story, perfect for fans of An Unexpected Grace and A Dog’s Way Home, a single mom learns that her chronically ill son can communicate with a very special dog—and the lessons this dog teaches can shape the future and transform their lives. And what Whistler inspires in Kate and Jasper may be his most important lesson of all.

Connections between Jasper and Whistler

I loved the way each character shared their own stories and emotions. Loved the story, it was very well written, narration was great.

Inspirational story of the human animal bond

This story is about many things, the courage of humans and the courage of dogs, where they find common ground and they way they can lift each other up across species. It illuminates the enormous role dogs play in the lives of modern people. People who understand dogs will "get" this book.

I didn't want it to end

Definitely credit worthy. I'd love to see this as a movie. I love this narrator but sor some reason I had to increase the speed so the speech was faster. Fantastic story!!!!

What an amazing book!

Nick Trout, the author of this book, hit me with a bull’s-eye right in my heart. Never in my life have I listened to a description of our relationship with dogs that is better than this one. he made me laugh. He made me cry. He made me realize a bunch of things that are deep truths about our relationship with our canine friends.

So enjoyable!

I don’t usually read books about animals…it just touches my heart too closely. This book was just lovely. I wanted to hear more and more. Loved the reader. Thanks!
