The third book in the powerful Moving On Trilogy. Top quality writing from a highly respected author. Nathan is always in trouble. He doesn't want to be, it just happens. Then he finds Windfall, the local animal sanctuary, and things start to look up. He meets beautiful Saskia, and also Hazel, a maltreated dog nobody can get near to, except Nathan. He dreams of taking Hazel to live with his father. But how much time does Nathan's father really have for him?
