RESCUING CRASH, THE GOOD DOG is a story about broken hearts—not only Britta’s and her father’s but also a dog’s broken heart—and it is a story about the bonds between daughters and fathers and good dogs and also not-always-so-good cats.
Britta, an eleven-year-old girl has lived in soul-deep sorrow since her mother left their family. When Britta’s father forgets her birthday, he decides to give her a dog (although Britta asked for a cell phone!). They adopt Crash, an Australian shepherd from their local animal shelter in Sault Ste. Marie, a small city in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and the adventures begin.


Founded on Ozark superstitions, folk medicines, Cherokee traditions, 19th century obstetrical practices, and the elite lifestyles that characterized New York City’s Gilded Age, THE MIDWIFE’S TOUCH is quintessential Sue Harrison–meticulous research as the perfect foil for the rich inner lives of her odd and beautiful characters.
SHanty Cove Books
All the hallmarks of a Sue Harrison book: immersive sense of place, complex and believable characters, and a great story. A wonderful and original premise is just the icing on the cake.
Janie Chang, International Bestselling Author
I love this novel. Sue Harrison has written a compelling story of a woman with a cursed gift that can help people but can also encourage corrupt, greedy souls.
Priscilla Cogan, National Bestselling Author
This is a character-driven novel and a good one, but it’s also a story of family—both those we’re born to and those we create.

Until recently, Sue Harrison was known mostly for making the best bread-and-butter pickles in Pickford, Mich. (pop. 600). Now she is famous for more than that. Doubleday has just gone back for a fifth printing (a total of 100,000 copies) of Mother Earth Father Sky, Harrison’s 313-page novel about the Aleutian peoples in prehistoric times. The publisher gave her a staggering half-million-dollar advance for the book, the first of a projected trilogy, and is spending another $100,000 on publicity.
