Authenticity, vulnerability, laughter, and risk are at the heart of a life well lived.

While trying to keep up with the hustle and bustle of today's world, we often feel adrift, unmoored from our goals and intentions. We search for an anchor - something to ground us and connect us to ourselves and the ones we hold dear. But the truth is the anchor we seek already exists within us. 

In When Big Dogs Die, author Cayla Ross challenges us to reclaim autonomy over our lives by exploring our past. Reminding us that our fondest moments hold tremendous power, Ross helps us understand the connection between our memories and our values. And through a collection of short stories, she asserts that authenticity, vulnerability, and humble love are the conduit through which we can discover the truest version of ourselves. And if we are willing to make the journey, we can change our world.
