About Fixing Freddie:

Fixing Freddie: A True Story About a Boy, a Mom, and a Very Bad Beagle (Adams Media, a division of F+W Media, August 18, 2010) by single mom-extraordinaire Paula Munier, is a hilarious and heartfelt tale about a broken family and the delinquent dog that helped put them back together.

In Fixing Freddie, the puppy that destroys Paula's custom kitchen cabinets, bites her dates, chews her precious shoes, pees on her neighbors and bays at the moon is her worst nightmare-and her son's best friend. Through the difficult years of her son Mikey's adolescence, Paula tries everything to fix this boisterous beagle: from obedience training and an animal behaviorist to contemplations of Puppy Prozac and, well, fixing him.

Fixing Freddie is more than a just a dog lover's story. It is a story for every mother who has ever given in to the relentless longings of her child (and regretted it later); a story for every family who has been torn apart by divorce; a story for every woman who has been disappointed by a man.

Paula deftly takes readers through the ups-and-downs of marriage, divorce, stepchildren, new families, newly-broken families, post-marital relationships, and custodial battles, and of course, giving in to buying a puppy! It will undoubtedly strike a chord within every family.
