Description
What we leave behind doesn’t always let go.
When Finn Byrne dies in a drunk-driving accident, his spirit wakes inside the home where his family is trying to heal without him. He can’t speak. He can’t touch. All he can do is watch as grief reshapes the people he loves-and as old fault lines begin to crack open again.
As the weeks pass, Finn sees a painful truth: the cycle that destroyed him may not have ended with his last breath. And when he realizes his son is drifting toward the same path, Finn is forced to confront the legacy he created-and the one he still hopes to break.
The Dog Bowl is a haunting, heartfelt novella about addiction, forgiveness, and the echoes that follow us long after we’re gone.
