Their inspirational story continues to amaze children, adults, and animal lovers of all ages. Book One in, The Adventures of Gracie and Diane series, Gracie Comes Home, introduces Gracie, the adorable Italian Greyhound, where she came from, and how she ended up homeless needing surgery in a Colorado animal hospital. It also introduces her loving owner, Dr. Diane Dike, who suffers from cryoglobulinemia, a rare incurable and life threatening blood disease that affects every aspect of her life. A deep and affectionate bond of friendship is formed in this triumphant story where a broken dog and struggling woman rescue each other.

This dynamic duo is sure to warm your heart. Meet the author, enjoy story-time, and an “Imagination Station” to create cards for hospitalized children or our troops. A Free bag of Natural Planet© ORGANIC dog food, a bone shaped magnet, and a free five-dollar gift certificate for PawsUpPetSupply.com (Gracie and Diane's official sponsor) will be given to the first twenty families who buy a book.

Michael W. Smith appreciates Diane by saying, “Infectious smile, eternal optimism, contagious joy… just some of the descriptions that come to mind when I think of my friend Diane.” Max Lucado suggests, “You’ll find Diane’s words to match her life-energetic, hopeful and crammed with vibrancy. She is one of my favorite people-I’m thinking her readers will say the same thing.” The top band Third Day thinks, “Diane has a remarkable story to tell and one that will bring hope to many.”
