In our latest read, hosts Simone, Tanya and Deb discuss Pebble & Dove from Amy Jones.

A once-famous but now-abandoned aquarium-in-a-ship in Florida is the backdrop for a novel of family secrets and dysfunction, and the ways in which it can sometimes take an animal to remind us how to be human.

This is the story of a family falling apart, only to be brought back together again by an unlikely champion—a 1,000-pound manatee named Pebble. 

Lauren’s life is a mess, with a teenage daughter, Dove, who barely speaks to her. …there are quite a few secrets, it’s a little dark, but very moving, as they try to figure out how to choose between what’s worth saving and what needs to be let go. This one will pull at your heartstrings. Plus a Q & A with the author.
