Synopsis

Frances Peabody is a tiny little dachshund, who just happens to live in a very large city. She lives there with a lady who wears rings on her toes and a man whom the lady calls "Honey." Frances didn't always live in New York. She came from a pet store in a small New England town. Life was good and Frances was happy. She went to school every day with the lady and got to play with the school children. The little dachshund enjoys taking Honey and the lady on long walks, chasing pigeons and squirrels in the park, and of course hunting for the occasional pizza crust on the street. When Honey suddenly becomes very ill, life will change forever for Frances. Frances Peabody is a wonderful children's book about a dachshund who must overcome adversity while learning the true meaning of family. April Jean grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, which is the neighboring town where Frances is from. She runs a dog walking/sitting business. "I spent my summers on Nantucket, which is also a setting in our story. Today Frances and I live in New York City, along with her Dad Kevin and her brother Mugsy. Frances inspired me to write this book and continues to be my inspiration throughout the series. Frances has to overcome a lot in this book, but I wanted the reader to feel inspired. It is important that the reader is able to feel sympathy for Frances, and I wanted to make sure there were still plenty of moments where they could laugh with her."
