If Buster has already made you smile, I think you'll love spending an afternoon with him.

Now let me tell you why I wrote his story.

After my daughter, Kahlia, died, Buster didn't try to make anything better.

He couldn't.

He simply stayed.

He sat beside us. He waited. He loved us exactly the same on the hardest days as he did on the ordinary ones.

Watching him made me realise something.

Sometimes love isn't about knowing what to say.

Sometimes it's just about staying.

That's the story I wanted to write.

I hope Buster finds a place in your heart, just as he has in mine.

Outside New Zealand?

You can also order STAY through many online booksellers around the world.

If you can't find it where you are, send me a message and I'll happily help.

Stay a little longer.

If Buster's story spoke to you, you might also enjoy Tiny Invitations.

Every Sunday I send a quiet email exploring grief, love, memory, hope, and the ordinary moments that help us carry impossible things.

No noise. No pressure. Just thoughtful words to remind you that you don't have to walk this road alone.
