For over twenty-five years, Elizabeth and her husband, Paul, have been involved in missions work with International Teams. ELIZABETH MUSSER, an Atlanta native and the bestselling author of The Swan House, is a novelist who writes what she calls ‘entertainment with a soul’ from her writing chalet outside Lyon, France. Told from the alternating points of view of Sunny and Lanie, Waiting for Peter is the story of the healing power of love between a boy and his dog and an analogy of how we should view our relationship with God, our Master. So begins the relationship between Peter and his neurotic mutt, Sunny. Hoping to find a way to help Peter reconnect with his family, his mother, Lanie, agrees to let him adopt a dog from the Humane Society.

Peter is a young teen who is emotionally and physically scarred following a tragic accident. I lay on the hot pavement of the driveway, my ears pricked forward, my eyes attentive, my heart racing-not only from the heat, but from hope.
