The book is eminently readable and is extremely enlightening to all animal lovers. Holmes interweaves the Bible, animal rescue and many other elements into a brilliant and inspiring study of animals in eternity. Holmes is not an animal activist. She is someone with a strong love of animals based on her family history and upbringing. This book can be a great solace if you or someone you know is grieving from the loss of a pet or just has a curiosity to know the answer to the question.
