Sabin Willett has written a passionate, gripping novel of modern tragedy and timeless love.” Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain
“Hewn from the same emotional landscape as Wuthering Heights, Abide with Me pulses with the dark pain of lost love and obsession. In prose that glints and sparks like gunfire, Sabin Willett makes Roy Murphy a dangerously compelling 21st century Heathcliff, the haunted, driven boy from nowhere who returns battle-hardened from war in Afghanistan to stake his claim on the one who got away.” Deborah Lawrenson, author of The lantern
Sabin Willett is a practicing lawyer and the author of three novels: The Deal, The Betrayal, and Present Value. He lives in Natick, Massachusetts.

Cass Street. The novel is narrated by Enzo, a dog who knows he is different from others: he is a philosopher with a nearly human soul, and an obsession with opposable thumbs. Enzo has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast, and that with race track techniques, one can successfully navigate all of life's ordeals. A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it. Inkwood is accepting orders for books now, and will handle sales at the event. Note: In addition to the The Art of Racing in the Rain, Stein has written a special edition for middle-readers and young adults, Racing in the Rain: My Life as a Dog. Both are available in either paperback or hardcover. “The perfect book for anyone who knows that some of our best friends walk beside us on four legs; that compassion isn’t only for humans; and that the relationship between two souls...meant for each other never really comes to an end.” Jodi Picoult
“The Art of Racing in the Rain has everything: love, tragedy, redemption, danger, and - most especially - the canine narrator Enzo. This old soul of a dog has much to teach us about being human.” Sara Gruen
“I savored Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain for many reasons: a dog who speaks, the thrill of competitive racing, a heart-tugging storyline, and - best of all - the fact that it is a meditation on humility and hope in the face of despair.” Wally Lamb Stein is the co-founder of Seattle7Writers, a non-profit organization prominent Northwest authors dedicated to creating connections between readers, writers, booksellers, and librarians to foster and support a passion for the written word. Stein is the author of two other novels, How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets, and Raven Stole the Moon, and a play, Brother Jones, and has also worked as a documentary filmmaker. He lives in Seattle with his family.
