Overall Content Rating: Parental Guidance PG

This installment centers on a missing dog, people living without stable housing, and neighbors and church friends trying to help. Tension and mystery build around what happened to the animal and whether he can be found safely; customer notes describe the series as heartwarming with hopeful endings and a light romantic thread rather than a romance-focused plot. Faith-friendly themes and moral choices are prominent in reader notes, with no sexual content reported. Language stays relatively clean aside from occasional blunt insults; the main content note for cautious parents is a short scene of cruelty toward the dog, including a kick that injures his mouth, within an otherwise gentle, community-minded story.

About this book

An unexpected surprise brings the Mitchell family of Savannah a chance to experience the vacation of their dreams. An unexpected disappointment threatens to turn it into the worst trip of their lives. John Finch and his friend Alfred have been living off the grid in Florida for several years. But given the cold winter months, freezing rain and terrifying lightning storms, John’s thinking his lifestyle could use a total makeover. A new friend enters the picture and changes everything. Kim Harper (the dog trainer introduced in Rescuing Finley), is contacted by a billionaire philanthropist seeking help with a new dog training project to help the poor. She wonders if he’s for real or if this rich, handsome man’s interest in Kim goes deeper than her dog-training skills? Bestselling author Dan Walsh is known for page-turning, character driven novels. Fans of Dan’s other novels, especially Rescuing Finley, as well as dog-lovers everywhere will love Finding Riley.
