"This story blew me away emotionally. I sat here afterward and couldn’t get the story out of my head. I looked at my kitty a little differently wondering if my mom came back to me and was watching over me and giving me cuddles. Wouldn’t that be a miracle? If you want a story that will rip your heart apart and then glue all back together even better than before, this is a story you will love. This is the first book that I have read from this author but will be searching out more and more. What an absolutely amazing writer." --Deb Robinson

​"Caddy's Tale is an emotional rollercoaster that grips you from the first page and doesn't let go until the last tear has been shed. This beautifully crafted narrative is a rich tapestry of characters and their intertwining stories, each one resonating with life’s complexities and the profound moments that shape us." --Book Troll

"I don't think a short story has ever made me feel so many different emotions. This was beautifully written and with wonderful characters. The author really makes you feel everything with these characters and what they go through. When Lilly rescues Caddy from the ocean they immediately create an unbreakable bond that will help Lilly through her life as she navigates marriage, her husband's successful golf career, starting a family and the many challenges, sorrows and tragedies they face all the while having Caddy as their little companion. Have the tissues ready, you're going to need them." --Jessica Godwin

"Caddy’s Tale: A Story of Unconditional Love by Carol McKibben is a heart-tugging women’s fiction story about the power of love, and overcoming the odds. This heartwarming story is a little different from the other books of Ms. McKibben’s that I have read -- but just as memorable. Woven with secrets, a little mysteriousness, a dash of the mystical, love, hope, heartache, family, and more -- made this short story feel like a much longer novel, in the best possible way. I don’t want to spoil things for you by revealing too much, but I highly recommend diving in blind, and letting the author, story, and characters, steal your heart. Very much looking forward to more from Ms. McKibben. Happy Reading….

Caddy's Tale

Lily Loggins falls in love when she pulls a drowning pit bull puppy out of the ocean.

Who would have thought this one act would set Lily down a path she never expected. 

Golfer Micah Moore has two goals – to win the PGA Grand Slam and marry Lily the girl of his dreams. When he sees the exhausted puppy in Lily's arms, he's certain he's added another love to his life. He didn't anticipate the important role the dog would play in his future. 

In an ugly twist of fate, Lily and Micah's lives together are marred by tragedies until a life force beyond their understanding influences their destiny and leaves them forever altered.

"I would rate this book higher if I could unfortunately five is the highest number of stars you can rate a book by. Carol McKibben never disappoints I have read a great many of her books and each and every one of them has been top notch. The world building was absolutely incredible as was the character building, and were both extremely well-developed. The storyline follows a young girl that rescued a pit bull puppy from drowning in the ocean, and it follows the girl and her pit throughout their lives and the happy and sometimes devastating experiences we face in this world. I could really relate to these characters. The plotline was very well-developed at times heartbreaking and at other times uplifting. I can honestly say that I laughed and cried throughout this book and it touched me in ways that I have not experienced for a while. There were more twists and turns than a roller coaster ride, and there were surprises around every corner which you did not see coming and there is a shocking surprise that comes out. I can't say anymore because I don't want to spoil this book for you. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading uplifting books with animals who's loving loyalty always is a focal point of any book written by Carol McKibben. I'm going to warn you this book will keep you glued to the pages, and you will not be able to put it down. I loved this story it is incredible and it holds your attention, and you will not want for it to come to an end. On the other hand you hope there's going to be another one coming with new adventures and surprises, and that is exciting and disappointing, because you have to wait for the next one to come out." -KZTG4EVAS
