Gracie Vandiver has rescued many animals, but one dog rescue in particular compelled her to write a children’s chapter book based on her experience. Basil’s Quest: A Tale of Dogged Determination is Gracie Vandiver’s first adventure in children’s book writing. Gracie shares her love of books as the steward of her Little Free Library (charter #83579 located in Nashville, Tennessee), providing free access to books through neighborhood bookcases maintained by volunteers. She and her husband, Jerry, are active in the rescue dog transporting community, helping homeless animals relocate to states where they have a better chance of being adopted.
