What parent of a
ten-year-old daughter can resist her fervent pleas for a dog? Especially when
her young life has been marked by the pain of a horrible car accident that took
her mother when she was a toddler. Jay McAllister, single parent for the past
eight years, heeds the call of a neighbor in need of placing a newborn puppy and
welcomes Intrepid - a Lab-mix orphan - into his family. Intrepid gains the
nickname "Tepid", but her fit into the McAllister household is
anything but lukewarm. She helps the family heal from wounds they thought they
had left behind years ago, integrating herself into their lives and burrowing
into their hearts. She instills belief in Jay, knowledge that hurts can be
healed, family can be strengthened, and joy can return even when it has been
absent for quite a while.
She also opens his mind to something otherworldly. Together,
Jay and Tepid experience the reality that a promise made - between a wife and a
husband, between a public servant and his community - can transcend even death
itself
