"Riveting . . . While I Was Gone celebrates] what is impulsive in human nature."-The New York Times "Miller weaves her themes of secrecy, betrayal, and forgiveness into a narrative that shines."
-Time Jo Becker has every reason to be content. She has three dynamic daughters, a loving marriage, and a rewarding career. But she feels a sense of unease. Then an old housemate reappears, sending Jo back to a distant past when she lived in a communal house in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Drawn deeper into her memories of that fateful summer in 1968, Jo begins to obsess about the person she once was. As she is pulled farther from her present life, her husband, and her world, Jo struggles against becoming enveloped by her past and its dark secret. " While I Was Gone] swoops gracefully between the past and the present, between a woman's complex feelings about her husband and her equally complex fantasies-and fears-about another man. . . . Miller writes] well about the trials of faith."
-The New York Times Book Review "Quietly gripping . . . Jo shines steadily as the flawed and thoroughly modern heroine. As in her 1986 novel, The Good Mother, Miller shows how impulses can fracture the family."
-USA Today "Marvelous . . . poignant . . . powerful."

Shine bright!
Color: Golden
Shimmer is brilliant. It stays on longer if you add lotion to "seal" it in place. Small enough that it am not afraid it will hurt my eye if some gets in. Bonus that it has a refill. Bottle is super cute and glass.

Beats the expensive pet store ones lasts way longer without threads breaking even with heavy play
Style: 5 KNOTS
Have a high energy large dog that does bite oractiand he adores these! We've gone through even some super expensive ropes from pet stores promising they will last yet they are destroyed in a couple uses. This is his second one and the first only had one badly worn spot with threads lose after months of heavy use! He was so excited when his new one came today and value for the price and durability I will stick to these every time now dog loves it! Very rug chew resistant great size!

Strong toy
Style: 5 KNOTS
This has been a great activity for our dog and really sturdy for our super chewer. We don’t let her have it alone but she has been known to saw through a few ropes while playing tug.

Great rope for dogs that destroy all their toys
Style: 5 KNOTS
So this product is not dog proof but man is it higher quality than others on the market. One of them is a shredder, anything she can get her paws and teeth on she’s ripping apart with all her might, it’s impressive if a stuffed toy lasts 5 minutes. We have tried lots of different materials and toys and this thing is great. It’s not saturated in drool and does not smell after they play all day. It is a large heavy rope so would be cautious if your large dogs likes to thrash. Our big boy doesn’t and it’s too large for our medium sized dog to thrash. Might be a little pricier than others but the extra money is well worth it. 85 lbs rottie mix and 25 lbs terrier mix in the video, we were just moving in so ignore the boxes lol

Great rope, but not for aggressive chewers
Style: 5 KNOTS
This is a great rope, but if your dog is a aggressive chewer, don't buy it. My Doberman chews everything, she destroyed this rope into many pieces, after only having it for 3 days.I swear she would chew iron into pieces. Now she has only bones to chew on....
