***

Annie and Jak – mother and wayward son. Jak is playing silly buggers when he steps into a nest of jack jumpers.                              
     The first sting in the tale of his life trajectory.
Annie believes her destiny was unwittingly ordained through her father’s deception, long ago in the wake of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination. Separate, violent events sabotage their lives and each is beset by guilt. They hide from the world and each other for seven years, Jak in India seeking redemption, Annie in Tasmania harvesting resentment.
     Unpredictable, like jack jumpers.  
When Jak rings Annie about a plan, born from his childhood dream to sculpt a café in the abandoned granite quarry on Tasmania’s Freycinet Peninsula, she realizes he needs her.
     Will she exonerate and assist him? Or destroy him?

 

Included at the end of the book are discussion questions for Book Clubs.

Great toys for aggressive chewers
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Turkey Day Drumstick - Large
These are great toys they last a while they are destroyed after a while but both dogs are aggressive chewers but they last about a year and a half. And they are go to toys they have one that is a shark mouth and they love it I have bought 4. (two of them the pups lost ).

Durable and Fun, Just Gets a Bit Rough
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Chopper - Large
This is a really good toy overall, especially if you have dogs that love to chew. My dogs were immediately into it—they play with it nonstop, toss it around, and stay entertained for a while, which I love. It definitely holds up better than most toys we’ve tried. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because over time it does start to fray a bit and gets a little rough, especially with heavy chewing. It’s not completely indestructible, but it still lasts longer than a lot of other toys. Overall, still a great buy and I would recommend it if your dogs need something tough but fun!

Worthwhile!
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Turkey Day Drumstick - Large
I have a small dog with a really strong bite! Usually have to buy toys that are meant for bigger dogs. This has lasted us for what feels like forever. It does sound very heavy when dropped! My dog loves it though! Would definitely recommend!

Instant fav for my girl but looks like I'll be replacing often 🤪 she is a super chewer. She loves the soft vs hard combo on toys. Damage in the pic is within 10 mins. 😬😬😬 excellent quality

Foreign body risk for dinosaur dogs
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
My dog Bert had foreign body surgery 10 days ago because he swallowed a piece of a toy, so I was looking for something stronger, like for a tyrannosaurus rex. This toy had good reviews, so I bought it for him. In 25 minutes and he'd chomped a chunk of the blue water part off. Bought the toy around 8am, gave it to him around 8pm, and it was in the trash by 8:30pm. This toy is definitely NOT for super chewer tyrannosaurus rex dogs like Bert. But definitely IS a toy that is pretty sturdy and strong for dogs who don't have the bite force of a dinosaur.
