A Big Little Life
Known for his chilling fiction, Dean Koontz shows his softer side in this memoir of the dog who changed his family forever. In A Big Little Life, the #1 New York Times novelist recalls being blissfully married to the love of his life when into their world came a golden retriever who had suffered an injury that brought her career as a service dog to a close. Trixie lit up the Koontz home with her radiant personality, and in the years to come, her profound intelligence continually amazed the author and his wife, Gerda.
Even the sorrow of Trixie’s passing cannot diminish the sheer joy of this devoted tribute that combines Koontz’s extraordinary gift as a writer with recollections that come straight from his heart to yours.

The only Dean Koontz book I've read. Dean and Gerda's Trixie belongs to all who read the book and fall in love with here. What an amazing "golden girl".

Trixie certainly changed Dean & Gerda's life as my dog (also in spirit) changed mine. This wonderful book is not only a tribute to their special dog, but also a autobiography of the author's life. The first Dean Koontz book I ever read was "Watchers" and from then on I was a hooked!

Trixie's Story

My favorite of Dean Koontz's books are the ones with significant roles by dogs. And I was always curious about his references to Trixie. This book went well beyond explaining how a dog can change a person's life.
