Join author Holly B. Gutwillinger for a Valentine’s Day book launch celebration on February 14, 2026, at La Jeune Café in Greater Sudbury.
I’m thrilled to celebrate the release of my debut novel North of Broken & Furever Home, a heartwarming story about finding purpose, second chances, and the life-changing bond between a woman and a rescue dog.

About the Book: North of Broken & Furever Home follows two narrators on parallel journeys:
Renley, forty-seven and searching for her life’s purpose after years of feeling lost.
Sully, a young Shepherd-mix puppy fighting to survive in the northern wilderness.
As their stories unfold, readers witness the collision of their worlds and embark on a journey of resilience, hope, and transformation.
Support local authors, rescue animals, and small businesses this Valentine’s Day.
