Author Brian Donahower’s New Book, “The Adventures of Abby and Annie the Pug: Book 1: A Million Kisses,” Tells the Captivating Escapades of a Young Girl and Her Puppy

A Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique level 2 practitioner, Brian Donahower holds a BS in health education and an MS in education. The author is profiled in “Who’s Who in America: 2022” and is a leading voice in the metaphysical community worldwide. Donahower is a decorated fourteen-year U.S. Army veteran and has previously published contemporary poetry and several short stories of spiritual encouragement and awareness.
“Before Annie, eight-year-old Abby sometimes felt alone and at other times, even a little sad,” writes Donahower. “It wasn’t like she felt sorry for herself—Abby wasn’t that way. Although she was deaf, she knew it was a choice to be happy, and on her seventh birthday, Abby simply decided that being happy didn’t need a reason, and that was that! Abby’s mom always reminded her it was okay to express what she felt, even if it was not positive, but in a healthy way that was respectful to herself and others. Still, it was difficult for Abby to communicate what she was feeling at times. Annie, the pug, changed all that.
“Both Abby and Annie lived in very quiet worlds because of their deafness, not that it mattered to them though. They didn’t know anything different, and neither saw it as an impediment. Instead, it deeply connected the two and served as their unique perspective of the world around them.”
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Brian Donahower’s sweet and moving tale follows Abby and Annie as they fearlessly explore all they can reach in the world as they learn about the magnificence of nature, the power of being in the moment, the joy of gratitude, and how to love and be loved in return. Readers of all ages will discover exciting adventures that bring challenges both heroes will have to overcome together as they grow in understanding and awareness of each other and, ultimately, themselves.
With vivid artwork to help bring Donahower’s tale to life, “The Adventures of Abby and Annie the Pug” is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of young readers from all over, inviting them to relive this heartwarming tale over and over again.

Why Music Matters—Especially in Later Life

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities
The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
