For the first time in years, Blaine Bishop will be spending Thanksgiving alone, and she can't wait. This year, she won't worry about the stress of travel or family dynamics. She won't stress the weekend away and wonder where her vacation went. Instead, she will spend Thanksgiving doing whatever she wants. But of course, as the saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. After completing a routine errand for her boss at a client's office, Blaine takes the building's ancient elevator down to the main floor. The start of Blaine's four-day holiday weekend is just minutes away when an obese redheaded woman joins her on the elevator. As luck would have it, the elevator suddenly stops, and Blaine finds herself trapped between floors with a stranger. Blaine's fantasy weekend is now destroyed, as they have no clue when they will be rescued. Even worse, the redhead seems determined to talk nonstop. Blaine finds herself a captive audience. As the hours pass and help does not arrive, she finds herself wondering just how long she can stand it.

The New York Times bestselling novel from Garth Stein–a heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of a dog’s efforts to hold together his family in the face of a divisive custody battle. Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals. On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny's wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, Zoë, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with Zoë at his side. Having learned what it takes to be a compassionate and successful person, the wise canine can barely wait until his next lifetime, when he is sure he will return as a man.
