If your giftee’s rescue dog is the favourite family member despite a closet full of chewed up shoes, gift them Lauren Carter’s This Has Nothing to Do With You (Freehand Books), an absorbing, tender novel about Melony, a young woman who’s both grieving her unfortunate family past and running away from it. After giving up attempts to start a new life, Melony returns home and devotes herself to rehabilitating Grommet, a rescue mastiff with a tragic history. A story about the complexity of bonds formed though trauma and grief, This Has Nothing to Do With You asks, how do we continue after tragedy?  We all have one: that person in our lives who regales us with stories about their pets.
