One Dog’s Love. One Man’s Journey

Heartbroken after the death of his dog, Matthew Sigman did the only thing he could—he ran. An impulsive escape to Europe didn't lead to the cafés of Paris or the islands of Greece, but to Quarna, a remote Italian mountain village seemingly hidden from tourists―and from time itself. There, amid winding cobblestone streets and alpine silence, through an unlikely friendship and the embrace of the villagers, he discovered an unexpected path from grief to healing. With wit, poignancy, and hard-won insight, this memoir is a reminder that sometimes, when all seems lost, it takes a village to mend a broken heart.
