Winslow is a self-described “American Gentleman” who lives with married couple Pamela and Frank. He has great manners and never breaks the rules. When a new family member Zippy arrives, he isn’t too pleased, to say the least. And he explains as much in his letters to his Grandma Vivienne. But Vivienne encourages Winslow to set a good example, and for Zippy to follow it in order to remain in good graces with the couple. Zippy must be a good companion because Pamela and Vivienne have issues of their own. But Zippy doesn’t quite follow what’s going on – mostly because she’s a puppy. Oh, and Winslow is an adult dog that already lives with them. Please Write is a debut novel in letters by J. Wynn Rousuck that chronicles a young puppy’s experience from stray animal to beloved “therapy” dog, and how important her growth is to helping the family cope with domestic struggles and illness.
