OLDER FICTION
Bigelow, Lisa Jenn

Starting from Here

(3) YA Colby's father has become remote and neglectful since the recent death of her mother, and getting dumped by her girlfriend further heightens Colby's distress. What pulls her through the rough patch is loyal friend Van, an unexpected supportive adult figure, and caring for a stray dog. Bigelow merges LGBT themes, grief, and a lovable-mutt narrative in this gentle, undemanding tale.
