Christened “charming” and “winning” by the Washington Post and “touching” by Publishers Weekly, this deeply moving memoir by celebrated author Monica Holloway tells the unforgettable true story of an extraordinary little boy with autism spectrum disorder and the irresistible puppy who transformed his life.

The day Monica Holloway learns that her lovable, brilliant three-year-old son has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), she takes him to buy an aquarium. But what Wills really wants is a puppy. From the moment Cowboy Carol Lawrence—an affectionate, high-spirited golden retriever—joins the family, Monica watches as her cautious son begins to step more confidently into the world.

With his new “sister” by his side, Wills finds the courage to invite children over for playdates, confront his fear of water, and finally sleep in his own bed, comforted by the puppy’s steady presence. As Cowboy proves to need her family as much as they need her, they discover the profound emotional support, companionship, and unconditional love that a dog can provide a child with special needs.

A heartfelt memoir about autism, family resilience, therapy dogs, and the life-changing bond between a child and a pet, this inspiring true story celebrates devotion, loyalty, and the unexpected ways healing can begin. Mascotas y cuidado de animales Psicología y salud mental

"An intimate, loving, funny look at the heartbreaking relationship between one mom, one dad, their very special little boy, and the puppy that was heaven-sent to love them all." -- Leslie Morgan Steiner, New York Times bestselling author of Crazy Love and Mommy Wars
"Monica Holloway had me laughing AND crying within the first five pages of Cowboy & Wills. She crafts artful and, so often, hysterical observations of everyday life, while also revealing the many dimensions of heartache that come with being a mother who wants only the best for her family. Monica is the genuine article when it comes to pitch-perfect memoir writing." -- Jennifer Lauck, New York Times bestselling author of Blackbird and Still Waters

Holloway and her remarkable son are bound to inspire and transform many lives." -- Hope Edelman, New York Times bestselling author of The Possibility of Everything and Motherless Daughters
"Monica Holloway has written one of the most extraordinary memoirs I've ever read.

I highly recommend this gorgeous and frank book about family, connections, and the ephemeral state of belonging." -- Barrie Gillies, senior editor, Parents magazine
