Synopsis
Abandoned and forgotten, an old Basenji finds new life with a lonely young woman who has suffered life tragedies of her own. Together, they embark on a magnificent journey of discovery and healing that leads them to the wild and beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina. Along the way they learn about the history of each other, about the magic that's as much a part of life as living and breathing, and about how believing in yourself can be the greatest magic of all!

From the Publisher
For anyone who's ever adopted a shelter dog; for anyone who's ever loved a dog and had that love unconditionally returned; and for anyone who's ever shared the beauty of their dog's autumn years, a new novel has landed upon bookshelves everywhere and is stealing a place in the hearts of canine literature fans. August Magic is that novel, and Michigan native Veronica Anne Starbuck is its creator. Not since James Street wrote the classic Good-bye, My Lady over 40 years ago has a novel about a Basenji come into being with such far-reaching appeal. While Street's "Lady" typified the Basenji of his time (a fairly rare, relatively unknown breed), August Magic's "Ch. Windswept of Hatteras" (a.k.a. "Magic") speaks up for the dogs of our times -- both purebred and mix-bred -- who find themselves at the mercy of our fast-paced, throw-away society.
From the Author
"If one person reads August Magic and goes to a shelter or adopts a rescue instead of turning to a pet store for their next dog, then my message was heard," says author Veronica Anne Starbuck. "August Magic is about second chances, about the magic that people and companion animals can make together, and about how saving a life can have a positive effect on your own."
