In this Under the Covers episode, we meet Tracie Barton-Barrett, author of “Buried Deep in Our Hearts,” her debut novel.

The novel follows three families and their lives together with their furry family members. When a cherished animal dies, they lead their community in coming together to support and honor their beloved.

Inspired by the animals who have touched her life, Tracie hopes her uplifting novel will allow the reader to relate, reflect, and reminisce. Tracie, and her husband, Daniel, are owned by two cats, Rutherford B. Barrett, (aka. Bubby) and Oliver Monkey. The kitties run the household; Tracie and Daniel just pay the mortgage.
