As I mentioned, the October book is Alice Hoffman’s Faithful – with it’s mystical elements it’s the perfect choice for October. Details from the publisher:<\/p>\n

Growing up on Long Island, Shelby Richmond is an ordinary girl until one night an extraordinary tragedy changes her fate. Her best friend\u2019s future is destroyed in an accident, while Shelby walks away with the burden of guilt.<\/p>\n

What happens when a life is turned inside out?

Alice Hoffman\u2019s \u201ctrademark alchemy\u201d (USA TODAY<\/i>) and her ability to write about the \u201cdelicate balance between the everyday world and the extraordinary\u201d (WBUR) make this an unforgettable story. With beautifully crafted prose, Alice Hoffman spins hope from heartbreak in this profoundly moving novel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We found Faithful to be a captivating read filled with love, loss and Shelby’s journey to discover herself that while totally unique it is also familiar. Shelby’s love of dogs is featured in this month’s box including Little Blue House by Hatley Tiny Blue Lab Socks<\/a>, Magnetic Pad<\/a>, Fred Original’s “Mark My Words<\/a>,” and a magnetic map of NYC.<\/p>\n
