DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a simple, but true story about the heart-wrenching loss of a close friend, Marita, and the love she had for her rescue dog, Lilly. Her dying request of the author was for her to find Lilly a full and purposeful life. Like "a dog with a bone" Kocour tenaciously follows a seemingly impossible road to find Lilly's true calling. Saving Lilly is about a promise to a friend, letting God lead the way and then knowing when to let go. Be very patient as you read as you will wonder where the story is going...wait for it. This story is what Kocour calls a "God thing". As Marita always knew about Lilly, this rescue dog was destined for great things.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK‘Intelligently written, finely observed and surprisingly moving, this is a book you’ll find hard to put down’ Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project Companions come in all shapes and sizes. Companionship lasts forever. Lily and the Octopus is a novel about finding that special someone to share your life with. For Ted Flask, that someone is Lily, and she happens to be a dog. This novel reminds us how to love fiercely, how difficult it can be to let go and how the fight for those we love is the greatest fight of all. Reminiscent of The Life of Pi and The Art of Racing in the Rain, with spins into magic realism and beautifully evoked universal truths of love, loyalty and loss, a hilariously sardonic and not altogether reliable narrator, and one unforgettable hound who simple wisdom will break your heart and put it back together again, Lily and the Octopus captures the search for meaning in death and introduces a dazzling new voice in fiction.

I'd left my baby in someone else's care. And I knew I'd made a mistake... With her two beautiful children and newborn baby Ella, Lily's life is full of love and laughter. She gave up her job to be a stay-at-home mother, and though she sometimes envies the freedom of best friend Hannah, Lily wouldn't trade it for anything. But Lily's world implodes when Hannah disappears with Ella one day, and Lily fears from the text message she receives that Hannah doesn't intend to come back: You don't deserve her. It's true that Lily has been keeping secrets about her marriage from Hannah, ones she thought only she and her husband knew. Suddenly Lily realises that there are things she doesn't know about Hannah too - and that by keeping her husband's secrets, she might pay the ultimate sacrifice.
