At a quiet Brooklyn café watched over by painted dogs and warmed by just the right cup of coffee, two teenagers arrive-lost, hurting, and unsure where to turn next. In this deeply compassionate third entry in the Smiling Dog Café series-fully enjoyable as a standalone-author Neil S. Plakcy shares two powerful novellas about grief, resilience, and the unexpected ways we find our way home. In Grounds for Hope, Miguel is alone on the streets after his father is deported back to their violence-plagued homeland. Cold, hungry, and nearly out of hope, he's led to the café by a mysterious pit bull named Baxter-and taken in by Betty, the wise café owner whose coffee and compassion help restore his sense of safety and purpose. In Finding Grace, Tanya is reeling after her mother's decision to walk away from their life to "find herself." Angry and unmoored, Tanya is gently nudged toward the café by Kiyomi, a calm, three-legged Samoyed-and slowly begins to rediscover her strength, her voice, and her path forward. This tender volume celebrates how healing begins-in community, through ritual and memory, and with the quiet guidance of a dog who always knows exactly who needs help next. Come in from the cold. The coffee's brewing, and the dogs are waiting.
