Whatley's blog-to-book chronicles the writer's 8,600 mile journey to reconnect with every person and place she had ever loved. Along the way, she observed life lessons from her dog. Subterranean Books is the official bookstore partner for the event, with 10 percent of sales that day going to the Humane Society's adoption efforts.
