ALPINE RESIDENT'S BOOK RECOUNTS HER LIFE WITH ANIMALS

November 28, 2015 (Alpine) – Set in the backcountry communities of Alpine and Descanso, “All the Peace I Might Find, or Not” by Elizabeth Allen is a nonfiction book about her life with animals and insights into why we love them so much.

A book blurb describes the story as “An animal-induced joy ride into one woman’s search for peace and self-love, interwoven with contentment and longing, written with a genuine candor and a humorous edge.  Once the parent of small dogs, the writer finds herself up-graded into the unknown territory of pit bulls and eviction notices due to her current big-dog-addiction. Cast out of the city and into the country she embraces what she fails to comprehend yet, as her first and last little dog Juno gets ready to say goodbye. Written with lyrical grace, spiritual searching and emotional stamina, we are pulled into her world never wanting to leave, unless of course, Liam Neeson comes on the scene. Then, all bets are off.”

Elizabeth Allen is author of “Love Crosses Over” and “Manifesting Mongrel”. She supports pet parents with end of life planning, hospice education and grief counseling.  She lives in Alpine, California with her expanded pack – Stella Blue, Skye, Ms. Orlagh and Ischa.
