Summary
After 18 years, Matthew lost his beloved friend and companion, Augie. When he found himself spiraling into grief he decided to escape to Europe for a change of scenery as being in his old neighborhood just held too many memories. A fluke in an Airbnb map landed him in Quarna, a remote Italian mountain village—and there me found new friendships, warmth, and a community that welcomed him as one of their own. Because of a Dog traces a journey from profound grief to unexpected renewal. And indeed sometimes when all seems lost, it takes a village to mend a broken heart. Because of a Dog is published by Sourcebooks and available at your favorite bookstore or online retailer. To learn more about Matthew, his book and his journey, visit www.matthewsigman.com
