She and her husband are off to Sorrento for a summer adventure, but on the eve of their departure, Josie discovers his infidelity. Devastated, she leaves her faithless husband, heading for the sun-drenched Italian coast. Alone, future unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive thousand miles away, Cicero, a rather snobbish terrier of indeterminate breeding, is likewise living an upturned life after his beloved human's passing. Heartbroken, he wanders the wilds of Pompeii. When a flustered tourist with a kind smile appears in the ruins, clutching her tote bag and map, Cicero and Josie collide like the two lost souls they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a series of turns as twisty as Sorrento's streets, Cicero leads Josie to her second act: Hugo, a charming and somewhat contrary local bookseller. Against a backdrop of quaint villages, sun-dappled olive orchards, and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, Hugo and Josie embark on a friendship that just might tiptoe into romance, with little Cicero to help them along the way--for dogs, he reasons, are nothing if not experts when it comes to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little a\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662539947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285","brand":"Kristin Judd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679612596405,"sku":"9781662539947","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-heartbeat-at-my-feet-9781662539947","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
